Large grasshoppers, which have recently been entering homes, workplaces, balconies, and gardens especially in the evening hours in Istanbul, continue to be a hot topic. Previously recorded by many citizens with their mobile phone cameras, the grasshoppers have now been captured in close-up footage.
CLOSE-UP IMAGES DREW ATTENTION
In the recorded images, the large grasshopper's head area, eyes, antennae, and mouth structure were seen in detail. The close-up shots revealed the insect's anatomy, unlike other images shared on social media.
ANXIETY CONTINUES IN ISTANBUL
Due to the large grasshoppers seen in many parts of the city, citizens continue to experience unease. In previously recorded images, the grasshoppers were seen entering homes and workplaces through open windows and remaining motionless for long periods on balconies and walls.
Meanwhile, in one striking image, moments when a citizen caught a grasshopper, placed it in a glass jar, and fed it with lettuce leaves were also captured on a mobile phone camera.
