Thank you! Bradyporus is a lovely fat bush-cricket that lives in the Balkans.

@@IonutIorgu Yes indeed a very nice little animal. It reminds me of my crickets pet.

Thank you! The macro shots were taken with a Canon EF 180mm f3.5L Macro USM lens. The main camera was a Canon EOS 6D, with ML.

Thank you! Schistocerca might occur occasionally in S Europe (but typically it occurs in Africa and SW Asia), while Locusta migratoria is locally distributed all over Europe.

Ionuț Ștefan Iorgu thank you. Most pages said locusts didn’t occur in Europe. I did an amazing discovery when I was a kid. I’m from Chile now i live in New Zealand. I discovered in the semi arid Mediterranean zone of central chile, schistocerca species different to the gregaria one can become gregarious as well. They change their colours in this way. The only difference is they do it very locally, that is very small groups, and the number is not as big as in Africa.

multumesc pentru apreciere! :)

I have featured it in my blog naturewatchingineurope.wordpress.com/2017/12/20/a-reminder-of-summer/. I hope this is OK. If there is any other information or links you would like me to add, please just tell me. I hope the film makes a few more people appreciate the small singers, as well as this place they inhabit.

Thank you for helping increasing the visibility of the movie! let's see if these landscapes will pass the test of time, as the transformation of steppe in farmland is already a major concerning fact in Dobrogea.

Thank you!

Thank you, Andrea!
