An extraordinarily colored unidentified cricket or katydid.
Found on survey track in equatorial lowland rainforest.
Camera focus playing up. The cricket was fully cooperative! A photograph of a nymph that resembles this species (also from Papua) is found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/thirnbeck/3...

Thanks, me too!
i love the colors
Amazing bug!
Yes, you'd think it would be easy to find an ID...
a colourful cricket for a change ! - nice ..
You can't imagine how surprised I was to see the cricket and then 15 minutes later the weevil!
Just like that weevil - ridiculous colour !
Must be the latest fashion in Papua.
Bizzare but Brilliant.
Thanks both!

Thanks, I wish there were more. I'm going to spend a whole day there instead of just a few hours, next time!
