African bugs

Here is a sampling of some of the impressive bugs I saw while backpacking.


This praying mantis was tiny and just an inch or so in length.  I thought it was unique because of the dark color. 



This was a well armored grasshopper about 3 inches in length



This grasshopper was perfectly camouflaged with the local leaves. 



These army ants were building a bridge out of their bodies to allow the rest of the ants to cross safely near the water. 


This was a stick bug perfectly camouflaged as a blade of grass.
