A digital drawing of a large green sable grasshopper on a blade of grass.
The insect is faithfully recreated. The grasshopper was drawn on a tablet in the drawing programme Pro create.
The large green sable grasshopper is a good jumper, which can also fly when disturbed or in danger. Actually, it is more like floating away, as the distance is never more than about 10 metres and it always requires a jump to get off the ground.
I find insects very fascinating creatures. I was also very touched by the beauty of this animal. Hence this drawing.
Unfortunately, the number of insects worldwide is decreasing and that worries me. Many people consider insects as irritating animals that we would do better to get rid of, but insects are very important for pollinating our crops. Although many grasshoppers are considered harmful, this species is quite useful. Its food consists mainly of other insects that live on plants.
