Dactylotum bicolor: ThePainted Grasshopper

This psychedelic grasshopper looks like it’s one of those “paint-by-numbers” projects with all its amazing colors! I've actually never seen one this colorful, but have seen the more red and black variant. The rainbow grasshopper, aka the painted grasshopper or barber pole grasshopper, is native to the United States, Canada and northern Mexico. .............................................................. #science #nature #animals #education
