Sometimes I can find so many things online. Today, I stumbled upon a rainbow grasshopper. It also is known as painted grasshopper or barber pole grasshopper. Color is a mechanism in protecting itself from its predator. I haven't seen one since it is found in the USA, Northern Mexico, and Canada. Have you seen this kind of grasshopper?

There are other rainbow patterns on their bodies. I never thought that they do exist. Image Credit: static.inaturalist.org

I wonder if they have any predator or if they are poisonous?

I am not sure if they are here in my country. A member claimed to have seen it in my country.

Nice looking grasshopper. I thought you saw that in your place. Anyway they may seem cute but when they are in large numbers they can be dangerous pest and attack a farm and eat all of the plants they see there.

I agree. Farmers number one enemy. I am not sure if they can be found in an isolated forest. Image Credit: news.illinois.edu

Really? That's promising. I thought it is not existing in our country's land. I do hope to see one.
