I myself do not know the name of this grasshopper, but what is certain is that this grasshopper has a very elegant color, namely orange with black spots, its size is not too big and not too small, but this grasshopper is very rarely seen in my area. If we look at it in terms of shape, this grasshopper looks very similar to other grasshoppers in general, it has wings, two large legs for jumping and two antennae, but this color is what makes me very interested in it. I managed to find this grasshopper in my cocoa plantation, it is very easy to find it because the color is very striking and different from the surrounding leaves, unless this grasshopper perches on wood.

It is very rare for me to find grasshoppers with such beautiful colors, I even thought about cultivating them, but I don't know how to cultivate grasshoppers, and hopefully I can find them again in my plantation next time.
Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this grasshopper here.
