Leaf Insect

Winn asked me in the previous post (Grass Talk) where is the grass hopper. Mmmm... No grasshopper woh, but I have the photo of this leaf insect :)
Green-green tei. Looks like Grasshopper, but it's not grasshopper... In fact, it has the appearance of a green leave. I'll name it as dunno-what-name Leaf Insect.

Too bad this dunno-what-name leaf insect is not so bright (aka low IQ). It is staying happily on the grey concrete surface (instead on a green leave), exposing itself to predators. Luckily I don't eat insects, else sure habislah. As conclusion, this dunno-what-name leaf insect failed to get The Camouflage Degree. Gagal Exam :P

nice as always.. you used remote flash for pic 1 on meh? or a torch light? try diffuser, more pleasing effect, less shadow, no harsh high light..

Chen said...

angeles,
*faint kaw kaw*
who is the culprit who starts giving those nick name wan? Winn or u?
Must piak with Sotong liao :D

LB,
Kakakka... and imaging ECL eating that.. Somehow, talking about eating grass or whatever green stuff always reminds me of her :P

Jason,
Yeah, the flash is a bit harsh. I used the built-in flash as i dun have external flash nor speedlight. Thinking of buying one in the future. Nope, didn't use torch light as it's still bright, in the late afternoon. :D

A friend of mine taught me to diffuse the light using styrofoam bowl, but i haven't manage to get one yet to try it out :)
