Nature doesn’t stop surprising us. I am sharing with you the most beautiful grasshopper that I ever seen.
I took this photo during my holidays in Mozambique last year. Grasshoppers in my country are green and they often run as soon as they see us but this one even allowed my granddaughter to touch him.
It is a beautiful animal with warm colors that allow him to hide from predators. This is so amazing that it seems that it was hand painted.

It is a very unique grasshopper compared to the green ones. This guy seems to be in a military uniform.
Nice comparation, yes he seems to be using a military uniform. Thank you.
what a great picture of a grasshopper. they can eat a lot of good plants quickly so they are often considered a pest!
Yes, they can be consider a pest. Thank you.
shorter body and longer head…
Thank you, this one is really impressive.
look at other grasshopper phenotypes
Wow, a wonderful captured picture.
Thank you, the grasshopper helped 🙂
I like exposition and colors. Beautifully done photo.
Thank you, this one has beautiful colors.
How do those colours allow the grasshopper to hide from predators? I would have thought that green would work better!
He does not hide. He saves himself a long and fast jump.
He doesn’t need mimicry.
Do you think that all animals hide from their enemies?
The ones being kept have different ways of escaping and being saved.
Bright colors can also mean danger, so they don’t need to hide.
That is indeed a very beautiful animal.
It is a very beautiful one, thank you.
