Just saw this today on one of my plants. It was huge (3 1/2 inches long) I have never seen a black grasshopper before. Another first for me. Hope I don't see any more of them. They could strip my plants in no time flat.

Ticked a like Skippy cos its a stunning photo but he looks pretty hungry.
Looks like he belongs on that black grass with purple flowers.

The common name is horse lubber grasshopper...my dog could almost throw a saddle on it and go for a wild ride....
