Green Milkweed Locust wing (Phymateus viridipes) Family Pyrgomorphidae




The wing of a grasshopper. I had seen it flying around for the past few weeks but when it lands, the wing is folded in and one cannot see the colors. I reckon some bird must have got him and this was all that was left. It is so delicate and almost transparent.
