Good day, please assist with identification? Not sure if this is a Milkweed Locust
Signature: Locust in SA
This is a gorgeous image of a Toxic Milkweed Grasshopper in the family Pyrgomorphidae. Based on images posted to iSpot, we believe it is Phymateus baccatus. We will be postdating your submission to go live at the end of the month when we are away from the office for the holidays.
