Green-legged grasshopper on a leaf. The head is dark, with large brown eyes and long antennae. The thorax and wings are also dark, but not as much as the head, and the wings have light veining throughout. Its abdomen is alternating light and dark stripes. The legs are a striking light green and the back ones have dark lines going across them. It is sitting on a leaf which is much larger than the grasshopper. The outer edges of the wing and the background are very dark and sunlight is highlighting the grasshopper in the middle of the leaf.
