I am not sure what species this one belongs to, have never seen one like this. If anyone has any idea, please do share :)
A vote for me at the PHOTOBLOG AWARDS 2009 will be highly appreciated. Thanks :)

I think it's some sort of a glass hopper, because of it's long rear legs.

What a wonderful creature and those colors are fantastic ... incredible ... beautiful photo! By the size I would say it's the nymph of a grasshopper, but I don't know what species. You could send this photo to What's that bug maybe they can help you.
