Phymateus viridipes
Colourful locust spotted after a noisy altercation between a Crested barbet and the locust. The locust was saved due to my appearance which frightened the bird away.
Grassland on the northern and eastern edge of South Africa.

It carries a rainbow!
Pretty, pretty! And must be pretty distasteful to predators like birds, toads and frogs
Fantastic!
