Yes! They are! (gafanhoto-soldado, soldadinho ou brasileirinho) Maybe I got confused between one species or another (speciosa or psittacus). Here is the link for my blog http://www.lifeinlog.org and here is my related spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/384... I'm sorry I have not posted before.

OK, Leonardo, give us your picture and link of your blog, please! Yours might be Chromacris speciosa or Chromacris psittacus. I think you call them Soldier Grasshopper...

Unbelievable! I have an almost identical version of this, but mine is green with yellow (I wrote a bit about them on my blog recently). Genial! Nature is perfect! Thank you very much for sharing this, Luis! ;)
