Grasshopper on pomegranate

A Giant Grasshopper, Valanga irregularis sits on a pomegranate

in the garden. As the name suggests, they are a large grasshopper, adults can grow to 90mm long. They have a variable colour.

 

We have had them in the garden for a number of the years and don't really mind them here as the local birds help keep them under control. Other folk who grow vegetables find them a pest.
