Red Grasshopper?
posted by Francis Ho
Someone spotted a big red insect hanging upsided down on a rocky outcrop and I paddled over to have a look and to take a few snaps. It looked like a grasshopper to me and it was bright red in colour. Funny how in the photos, it has the brownish colour of a cockcroach. Looking at the incredibly long feelers, it could just be a cockcroach! Does anybody know?
