When looking at the pictures, I was afraid the green color of the legs could be some interference problem. But I think now this is the real colour of the insect.

Well, I can tell you that I didn't do anything to the insect, bus as a matter of fact, it lost the left fore leg in the picture session. After that, I left it fly away.
