Mystery?, Leticia, Colombia This observation has me puzzled. The big hind-legs suggest it's a grasshopper but the tube-like body and eyes suggests it's a stick insect. There's no visible antennae. Wings are underdeveloped. My best guess is a juvenile stick insect but I can't find any with hind legs like this.
