This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

On today's monomad challenge, I would like to share some interesting insect photos that I managed to photograph a few days ago. There are two species of insects that I would like to share, the first is a cricket or also known as the sickle-bearing bush cricket. This cricket with the Latin name Phaneroptera falcata is a species of cricket from the Tettigoniidae family, which can be found in various regions, especially in Southeast Asia, such as on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.

In addition to crickets, I also found a beautiful moth resting behind a leaf of a wild plant. This moth is known as a wasp moth, because at first glance this moth does look a bit like a wasp. And I have uploaded some photos of the moths I am referring to below.
