That is a great picture - thanks for posting it. We don't see nearly as many pictures of insects from outside the US, and it's nice when we get a look at these exotic creatures.

P. S. check the link below for a picture of an equally bright, but different one from the southwestern US.

Both beautiful grasshoppers!

I ran across an internet page one time that had about two dozen brightly marked grasshoppers pictured on it. I wish I had marked it, but seems I didn't Anyone know of a site like that?

Ooh, I wish you could remember it, Rosalee. I found a beautiful grasshopper that used to love my Swamp hibiscus (H. coccineus). He was humongous, about 4-5" long. But, his colors were very striking - bright green and black. I have looked at photos several times, but have yet to ID this grasshopper. Next time I see it, I'll photograph it.

BTW, Natureiyer, that is a gorgeous grasshopper!
