Dictyophorus spumans
A LARGE black locust with red markings.
Bush
All the research I have done points to this being a Dictyophorus spumans, / Koppie foam grasshopper /milkweed locust, but I am not sure. If so, is it poisonous to humans? I read that this is the Nymph stage??? It was very large for a nymph!!! It was an amazing find, such a beautiful creature!!!
Excellent blog post on these by Piotr Naskrecki:
