Phymateus saxosus closeup
Here's yet another example of a creature unique to Madagascar, and with a freaky look. This concerns a deep blue grashopper with yellow markings and red bumps on its shoulders. the creature in full is even more colorful than this; if it would spread its wings, you'd see on the inside of those wings a vert deep red/orange color, like a reign of fire.

The Rainbow Bush Locust is a toxic species of grasshopper in the family Pyrgomorphidae, known commonly as a Gaudy Grasshopper.
