A dark brown to grayish-brown grasshopper-like insect is centrally positioned on a light tan, granular ground surface in Takau, Nigeria. The insect's head faces towards the lower-center of the frame, displaying two dark compound eyes and two thin, yellowish antennae extending forward. Its body features folded, dark, tapered wings along its dorsal side. Six segmented legs are splayed across the textured surface, which is consistent with concrete or compacted earth containing small aggregate particles. Direct sunlight illuminates the scene, casting a subtle shadow from the insect onto the surface. No other subjects, objects, or actions are present.
