thank you, Lenny and Bayucca.

after recheck, i found that Acrida cinerea has longer back legs than Atractomorpha lata. so, my spot is Atractomorpha lata.

but in jakartaentomology, this spot is listed in the last grasshopper named vegetable grasshopper, with latin : Atractomorpha

The link is misnamed surely.The speices on the rose is incorrectly named.
Please Google both Acrida and Atractomorpha in Wikispeices.
