A moment of leisure with a grasshopper, a friendship with nature
I have long had the habit of walking in nature. Especially in my free time, when the surrounding is less busy, I cannot help but respond the call nature. In the gaps between trees call birds, the gentle swaying of leaves, the play sunlight and shadow—everything seems take me to a different world.I was walking along that familiar little forest path near the village. Suddenly, my eyes were caught by a strange beauty—a grasshopper, sitting on leaf, its body sparkling in sun.
I had my mobile with me, so I picked it up without delay took few pictures. That small yet extraordinary creature was caught in the camera frame. Its body color was bright green, with a black spot middle, shiny wings. The grasshopper's eyes seemed give a glimpse mysterious world. Although it was a small animal, its posture was full confidence. It sat so beautifully on the leaves, it seemed nature itself had painted a picture.
Grasshoppers, also known as grasshoppers, are usually found in open fields, gardens, forest areas. Their main food is leaves and other plant-based materials. The body grasshopper is divided into three main parts—head, chest, and abdomen. The head has two large compound eyes and two antennae, with which they sense their surroundings. Their hind legs are very large and strong, which they use to jump.
I thought that the life this small insect was limited jumping, but while doing photography and researching, I realized that these animals play an important role in maintaining the balance environment. Grasshoppers are an important part natural food chain. They serve food for many birds, reptiles small mammals. Again, their excessive numbers can sometimes harmful agriculture, because they can eat crops.
I was feeling a kind of peace while taking the picture. Just as mobile phones keep us busy in the world of technology, this can also become a means of preserving the beauty nature. That picture is still in my gallery I look at it from time to time. It makes me think how small a thing can bring us joy in a moment, and bring nature our eyes anew.
This experience has given rise to a new interest in me—looking down, observing small creatures, and telling their stories through their pictures. We walk among thousands of lives every day, but rarely look at them. Nature is actually a great teacher, if we listen to its lessons with a little attention.
That picture of the grasshopper is not just a photograph, it is a preservation of a moment, a sign of a deep understanding. Such fleeting friendship with nature makes our lives deeper, more human.
