Grasshopper

Wanted to get some macro shots of the purple bougainvillea flowers and found this chap. He is approximately 7 or 8 centimeters long.

@equinoxe Thanks! Purely accidental to find him as I was trying to get some pictures of the Bouganvillea bracts with the little flowers inside and he was just sitting right were I was looking!
