I didn't expect to see this insect to be a kind of pollinator to a flower, because as far as I know this insect is one of the pest as they usually eat on the flower or leaf, anypart of the plant that is soft can be part of the diet of this insect. The insect that I am talking about is this bush cricket. But seeing its behaviour while taking these photo, I might have to change my view over this insect, because it might actually be beneficial to the plant by polinating the flower. In the photo below, I also managed to capture another insect at the same flower. The insect is the small fly as you can see on the lower left of the photo below.    Here you can see the bush cricket doing its work, climbing into the stament of the flwoer, maybe trying to get some nectar of the flower and helping the polination in the proccess.           | | | | | | | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | | Photo Style | Macro Photography | | Accesory | 50 mm Canon lens + Adapter + Extension Tube | Location | Bali, Indonesia | |Lighting | External flash | | Gear | olympus Omd EM5 Mark ii | |Diffuser | Cekrek Diffuser | ||| |------------|------------| |  |
