I've been preparing lately many old, unpublished photographs for a long post about Orthoptera - grasshoppers & bushcrickets.
Today I took three of those old shots, turned them into black & white in Photoshop, and quickly prepared a short post to put out today.
I used the Canon EOS 350D camera and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens.

This is an adult Euchorthippus declivus female. Euchorthippus declivus is commonly known as the common straw grasshopper.
This species inhabits arid, sunny environments with sparse vegetation in the middle and southern parts of Europe. It feeds on various types of grass.

This is the Anacridium aegyptium nymph. This species, commonly known as the Egyptian grasshopper or Egyptian locust can be seen in Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.
Anacridium aegyptium inhabits dry, sunny places with shrubs and small trees. Here where I live, the Mediterranean maquis is its favorite habitat but it can be found in open meadows as well.
These grasshoppers feed on the leaves of various plants. Trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants are all on the menu.

This is the young, small nymph of the Pseudochorthippus parallelus grasshopper.

AND THAT'S IT, AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.
