This was one of two large locusts sitting near the sunday market
Captured it with lens set to macro

Ugly thing but fascinatingly perfect

Singularly, they're grasshoppers. They don't become locusts until they swarm with others.

There were two of them, does that count as a mini swarm? LOL

Nope. And it doesn't make 'em nearly-locusts either.  ;)

Nothing in nature can possibly be "ugly"........repulsive to us, perhaps but never ugly.

She/he is beautiful in the eyes of his/her beholder.
