:clap After a few posts on Dragonfly.. i finally changed the subject and i hope you guys will like them...

Went out on sunday, suppoed to do a portfolio for 2 friends with another 2 photographers, but one was sick, and the other felt not easy to be alone. So the three of us change the subject from human to insect.

Other than the usual Grasshopper.. we had encounter a weird insect that i have not seen before.. if any expert here can tell me what this insect is, will be much appreciated..
Here are some of the pictures taken:

***Unknown Insect***
Anyone can enlighten me what this fellow is....
