This morning I found this nice grasshopper in the Kafue National Park, Zambia.
I succeeded to reach the level of the genus: LOBOSCELIANA
Someone knows which is the species?
Konkamoya, Kafue National Park, Zambia

Fine image - the grasshopper blends in beautifully with the leaves. Unfortunately, I don't know African insect species at all.
