Variegated Grasshopper (Zonocerus variegatus)

Latin Name Observation Date Location
Zonocerus variegatus 22, July, 2025 Shagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria

I moved the camera nearer—it hid, as if trying to avoid me. I placed my fingers at its back, gently urging it upward. Soon, it rose again… and click—I took my shot.

Beautiful, right?

It brought back memories: hide-and-seek with the neighborhood kids, laughter ringing through the streets. So lively.


Thanks for visiting guys, see you next time.
