Zonocerus variegatus

20 June 2025

Epe, Lagos, Nigeria

It was a great day, and I found an extremely rare Variegated Grasshopper (Zonocerus variegatus). It was too fast, so I grabbed it carefully to take a picture before releasing it into the bush. I like the compound eyes and the patterns on its body. I like calling it the army grasshopper.
