Amazing looking critter.
“Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!”
Beautiful grasshopper Diego! I wonder if the toxins it carries will deter predators?
Nice spotting Diego, some African grasshoppers are so beautiful, they're almost artificial :)
Thank you Michael!
