About this work
A Yellow-winged grasshopper (Gastrimargus musicus) caught in a barbed-wire fence. This species is most easily identified by its yellow back wings with black bands, but they are usually only visible when in flight (when it also makes a loud clicking noise). Compare for example the stationary grasshopper in the "Other versions" field. This image with the wings visible was captured in the few seconds during which the unfortunate grasshopper's head was stuck in a barbed wire fence it had flown into.
