Well is is again Tuesday,so it is creature day and today it is the Leichhardt’s Grasshopper, another creature I have never heard of.
This grasshopper is an incredibly rare Australian grasshopper long thought extinct until 1971 when it was rediscovered.
It lives in the top end of Australia where it feeds on a special selection of plants.
The species is named after Ludwig Leichhardt. It is known as alyurr in the Kundjeyhmi language.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Glad it is still alive and its colors are incredible!
Hugs,
Mariette
I knowhow cool does it look
