  1. Hi Albert, those are nymphs of a monkey grasshopper (Homeomastax sp.). I'm afraid I can't help with the species, though. Posted 9 years ago
    1. Thanks, Thibaud.
      Yea, with most Insects, its too difficult to ID the nymphs.
      Just like the way they pose :D

  2. What's up with the wing positions, never seen that before? Posted 9 years ago
    1. Its the hind legs, Ferdy.
      They are still nymphs and their wings are not fully developed yet.
