We see these occasionally around here. It's the first time I had seen such a colorful grasshopper until I saw the Homesteader Grasshopper in spring/summer of 2006. (next picture)

Actually, when I lived in and around Phoenix, I never saw any of these wierd colored grasshoppers but I've seen some different wildlife here in Clifton. (these grasshoppers are just some of them)
