This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

On today's post, I want to share two interesting insect species that I found this afternoon while I was hunting for insects in the riverbank area. The first insect is a bush grasshopper with a characteristic brownish color, two brownish-black eyes, and two brown antennae. In terms of size, this grasshopper is relatively small. The photo I'm sharing of an adult grasshopper shows its relatively small size compared to other grasshopper species.

Then the second insect is a cute yellow caterpillar with porcupine spines on its back. Touching this caterpillar will cause a little serious problem because these spines are slightly poisonous so that if you touch it, irritation will occur and an allergic reaction will appear so that the skin feels sore and itchy. When I took the picture, I tried my best not to let the caterpillar touch my skin, so I couldn't take many photos of the caterpillar because it kept moving & I was afraid it would climb onto my finger :)
