They are a very strange looking hopper for sure. A frontal headshot would be very interesting to see how his face is actually laid out. All the different angles, textures and shapes really make this fellow blend right in.

Great shots Nikola. It is definitely the same as #3.

#1 and 2 look to be the same family but much more interesting. If it was on dry grass instead of green, it would be extremely diffucult to see.

Thanks for posting these, it is most interesting to see them.

Very interesting creature, Nikola. It is amazing how well some creatures mimic foliage.
