Family Thericleidae
These are about the oddest looking grasshoppers I have come across.
Normally an up-turned body like this indicates a very young one but in this species, it is normal.
They are found on shrubs in grassland and bushveld of the north eastern regions.

It looks quite different with the brown body and green legs! Have a good day Diane
