I featured a baby version of this grasshopper last month. Apparently it has several life stages or "instars" where it sheds its skin and grows bigger. This one is about half way grown. They start off being around 5mm and grow to 60-90mm, making it the largest grasshopper in Australia. Also known as a Hedge grasshopper or Giant Valanga.
