| Green Milkwood Locusts belong to the family of Gaudy Grasshoppers (Pyrgomorphidae) and live up to their name. They grow to 2.8" (70mm) long and while their bodies and forewings are green, their hindwings are shades of red and blue. The spiny area behind their heads is covered in green bump, tipped with red. The joints where their legs leave their bodies are also red. Their eyes are yellow-gold and antennae are black. Long rear legs are spiny below the knee. |
