We saw quite a few of these insects when we were on holiday in Boa Vista, Cape Verde, I have tried to find out what it is, but unfortunately without success. Can anyone ID it please?

I tried putting this as the title, but instead of showing the strike-through it just showed the HTML code!! Grrrrrrr! If anyone knows how to do that in the title I would be grateful :-))

Do no take life too seriously. you will never get out of it alive - Elbert Hubbard

macro photography is a wonderful thing as you can see the insects larger than the eye can see

This time I decided to photograph some insects like grasshoppers and butterflies, so I took a long walk searching for them.

Among these flowers there were a lot of butterfies and bees. It was a great scenery. I take lots of photographs from there.
