An undetermined species of grasshopper munching on yellow walking iris. The (short-horned) grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. Recent estimates indicate some 2,400 valid Caeliferan genera and about 11,000 valid species described to date. Many undescribed species exist, especially in tropical wet forests. The Caelifera are predominantly tropical. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper... )
