Hola Maite,
Jajajaja, bien por la reivindicación feminista!
Le hiciste justicia a esta aguerrida hembra que es la que le toca el trabajo de poner los huevos :-)
La foto en sí es muy buena, con esos detalles y colores tan nítidos, y muy bien merecida su aparición en la galería.
Muy bueno trabajo de las chicharras y gracias por mostrarnoslo.
Un gran saludo,
JM

Hola Maite. Vaya bicho tan raro este, sin embargo parece que esta hermosa hembra esta muy bien preparada para una batalla.
La foto muy nitida, por lo que se pueden apreciar sus finos y elegantes detalles. El largo de sus antenas son verdaderamente fenomenales.
Saludos Luis52.

I come you you without backing but with positive input. If one of your pictures had to stand out this would be among the tops...It is a super close in shot...and gives the insect real life! The greens and patterns of such are what makes it such a nice angle and view...
Tres' Everything! 'Especially good.

Hello Maite!
This is fantastic documentary picture!!! You kept in this photo a female of Orthoptera order in using great timing! Why? The answer is very simple! Can you see "these white things" at the end of her abdomen? This is a specian sunstance which is producing by male after copulation! He is preparing special "chastity belt" (built from some proteins) which does not allow female to copulate with another male.
Thank you for showing this interesting photo and my best greetings from Lodz!

Maite, I was a loser to miss this picture in the past.
So better-late-than-never syndrome works well for me in this case. I am simply thrilled to see this amazingly beautiful yet unfamiliar creature.
This Bush Cricket looks like a medieval warrior in his swanky armour.
The picture is a perfect example of first rate nature photography.
Well, thanks for showing me this precious gem.
