Failed Camouflage - Monomad challenge
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes
This big locust seemed lost that night, and he could not find a place to stay warm and dry since it was raining outside. He chose the worst place to hide during that harsh time because somehow it ended up in the kitchen.
Maybe he misinterpreted the light from the kitchen as the safe place, but unfortunately, he only met me, equipped with my camera, ready to take more photos of him.
He was well camouflaged actually, if only he had found the perfect place to blend his body to its surroundings. Still, that time he was too obvious, since the body pattern and the color combination didn't fit well with his surroundings, and that is when his camouflage failed him, and fell victim to the aim of my camera.
It was resting on a red clay flower vase, so you could imagine the contrast of the locust body, and its surroundings. It was so easy for me to detect him. And during the photography process, he was very calm, and let me get sharp photos several times.

Great macro photo @ekavieka , black and white makes it very artistic.
Thank you very much my friend. i am happy that you like the result. : )
Perfect shot, you shot so well, I saw so much detail this locust object you found.
Thank you very much. I am so happy that you like it.
It had to give in as there was no other place to go lol. Beautiful macro shots, it looks calm too :)
haha, I think that is also the reason. Since there is nowhere else to go, so better to stay still isn't it?
Beautiful shots - I can imagine the contrast the locust must have stood out boldly against the clay vase.
Thank you very much my friend. The contrast is very visible. : )
easy to spot.
Amazing your pict.
When I saw this picture. I remember a film from my childhood. Namely about SatriaBajaHitam. I'm sure you also know this film which was famous in our childhood.
Hahaha, that for sure brings a lot of nice childhood memories. I still remember how I needed to go to the neighbor to watch it, since my parents can't afford the TV.
