Jaun post this picture of a two headed Grasshopper on
TREKnature.
His description
Quote:
This insect belongs to the Orthoptera order, where the grasshoppers, crickets and katydids are.
I don't know the scientific name. The animal looks like it has two heads, and the red one is more attractive probably to distract a possible predator from the real one .
The picture was taken in a farm with an old coffee plantation, in Amaga, state of Antioquia, Colombia. The altitude is 1.400 m above sea level.

Granted Jaun's English is a little rough, but it's a hell of a lot better than my Spanish.
That hopper ain't scared, he tells his predators, Bite my ass.
