Gravel Grasshopper |
Acrotylus |
|
Heavily grazed habitat on a rocky slope, Voi, Kenya. 28 May 2017. Identification was suggested by Jacques Mestre. |
Notice the detail of the markings on the grasshopper vs. the multicolored gravel upon which it is sitting! Again, a result of generation after generation escaping the sharp eyesight of the many birds hunting them. Acrididae -- Grasshopper Family, subfamily AcridinaeMore Information: |
