Caelifera
These insects belong to the order Orthoptera and suborder Caelifera. There are around 10,000 types of grasshoppers. Some species have toxic bodies which are brightly colored, which is supposed to be a warning (of their poisonous nature) to their predators. Some species are unable to make sounds by rubbing their legs. This sound is a mating call and therefore, some species are brightly colored to attract their mates. more info: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/grasshopp...
Widespread in all over the world
I saw this grasshopper a while ago in my room. I just took it to my hand and took a pic of it. Look at all the details at closeup.
