Monkey Hopper

Here's a young one (different species) from Papua. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/117... Cool creatures!

This is the coolest grasshopper I've ever seen!

@S. Frazier..thank you..

Thank you all..for vavorite this spotting..

@bayucca, thank for your ID and nice comment.., @Leanne ..thank you..

Great spotting :)

Actually it is a monkey hopper. There are confusing infos about this one. Erianthus sp. are quite common. Kurt was thinking about Erianthus sp., Erucius sp. or Mnesicles sp. for this one. There is one ID for this one as Erucius sp. (scroll down in the link!). So I am not sure about it. I did not found any info about a Mnesicles sp., Erianthus looks in my eyes different, at least the one with a trusted ID.
