Moving Iris
Beautiful when seen alone, monster when they mob up....
We were moving away from a water body in the Thar desert after a fruitless wait for some birds, when suddenly I noticed something fly off and land on the side of the safari vehicle. I asked the driver to stop, and saw this bright yellow coloured desert locust on the ground.
It was quite cooperative and allowed us some fantastic close ups. Some of us did click him even with their mobile.
They seem beautiful with their bright yellow colours and the pattern on wings,,but under certain conditions, can multiply uncontrollably to millions and destroy crops in vast regions. Hence the caption.
