Anacridium moestum

Anacridium moestum, the camouflaged tree locust, is a species of grasshopper belonging to the family Acrididae,[1][2] that is native to Africa south of the equator.

It is similar in appearance to the Southern African desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria flavicentris.

These large and slender locusts show a mottled reddish brown or grey body, with a finely speckled green tegmina.

[3] This species is native and widespread in southern and south tropical Africa.
