Neotropical grasshopper (Proscopiidae, Cephalocoema sp) by @pablolevinsky . A bizarre group of insects in my opinion. I definitely thought these were a type of stick insect (Phasmid) until now, but they’re actually grasshoppers? you learn something new every day! A fun and interesting page, I would recommend checking out @pablolevinsky
