A Strange Visitor..
Tayga Farm - Istanbul
June / 27 / 2008
If this is a grasshopper..it is a giant one…Almost 15 cm..long. I looked at all the books I have;
the closest I found was, this is either a “Eurycantha-calcarata” or “Leptophyes punctatissima”. It was quite difficult to take a shot because even with his huge body he moved fast and didn’t sit still , and bites too ..:))
This is the best I could do.. I hope you find it interesting too…
HAVE A NICE WEEK !!

I don't know what type grasshopper it is, but it is a very nice macro. I am curious what type lens you use. I switched to a Nikkor micro lens for close ups, but some animals won't let you get close :).
Great Macro.

He looks a fearsome critter....not seen anything like that before....thank goodness *o*
Excellent shot, under the circumstances you describe you got enough detail here for it to be recognised.
