A large grasshopper (Acrididae) which looks like a locust. This species is among the largest grasshoppers in Borneo, this one being at least 6cm. They can fly much further than those smaller grasshoppers but are much rarer.
In plants that suited it.
This grasshopper is a visitor because we don't have this species living around here. As you can see it's last pair of hindlegs are gone. I can assume that it was captured earlier by young children and got it's jumping legs removed to prevent it from escaping. >>>Map accuracy : 250m diameter.
