    1. The link times out for me, but I found this:

      Looks like it may be the nymph of a painted grasshopper, exact species unknown.

      1. I found that one too. Strange, the link works fine on my computers.
        I got to a genus - Orthacris, but the species are not specified. A few of them are found in Sri Lanka. It is probably an adult, not a nymph, they are wingless.
