YELLOW GRASSHOPPER ON BANANA LEAF

I always associate grasshoppers with the colour green. But then one day while I was out marketing, I chanced upon a yellow grasshopper on a banana leaf. I later found out that grasshoppers are normally a brown or yellowish brown colour, although a few species have some slight green shading in places.
They colouring is often mistaken as bright green, the colour of grass, but this is a fallacy, and grasshoppers despite their name do not take on the colour of grass. This green colouring is often exhibited by crickets, a species that different from the grasshopper.
