We noticed this insect just because it jumped as Samhith was trying to pick up a stone! Otherwise we wouldn't even have known it was there! Any idea about which insect it is?
This is brilliant! I wouldn't have called it an insect had you not mentioned it. it looks more like a crooked root.
No idea what it is. Though it seems like a shorter grasshopper/cricket variety. These guys are experts in camouflaging. So, I am assuming that this insect is related to them.
@Mridula: thanks.... I wouldnt even have realised it was one, but it jumped :)
@Patty: :) I never thought of it that way... but then again... wonder if it would know, what would it think???
@Celine: Absolutely! I used the pic to explain the word to my son!
@Chitra: yes, it did look like that....
@Lakshmi: Isnt it amazing, the kind of things we see these days now that we carry a camera around, and look for things to shoot??? I never even noticed them before!
@Indrani: thanks a lot! u seem to be the only one who has any idea about the insect....
@Sankara: you were right! Indrani just commented that it was the cricket variety! and even i wouldnt have realised that it was an insect... just cause it jumped i managed to notice it... and thankfully it stayed still long enough for me to take a pic!
Damn, i was looking for the insect in the picture and then realised i was staring right through it... :)
What a camouflage...yep, i also think its a cricket family insect only.. Amazes me to think God thought so deep to create such mysterious creatures as well ..
Once in the area I was studying there was a locust storm and I was also a volunteer in the campaign to eradicate them. The creature you have photographed looks like that very monster!. Good shot.
Nice picture but I have no idea what the insect is.
ReplyDeleteI cant identify it... but I like the way.. you've clicked a pic of this little thing and made him a celebrity.. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't know the name of the insect Anu.
ReplyDeleteCan see, however, the deception because of the similarity in colors to its background. I guess that's what they mean by camouflage!?
May be one belonging to grasshopper family.......
ReplyDeleteWe saw a rock agama brilliantly camouflaged against the colourless rock in Nandi hills recently..will find out reg the insect
