Valanga nigricornis
Acrididae; Cyrtacanthacridinae; Valanga nigricornis (Burmeister, 1838). This Short-horned Grasshopper is a nymph. Its wings are just beginning to develop, as you can see in the third picture.
Spotted in our backyard vegetable plot, on String Beans (Vigna unguiculata sesquipedalis), known in the Philippines as Sitaw. Plant identification - http://www.stuartxchange.org/Sitaw
