Aularches miliaris

Aularches miliaris is a colorful grasshopper belonging to the family Pyrgomorphidae found in South and Southeast Asia. The species is heavy and sluggish, able to make only short leaps, and very visible on vegetation. The grasshopper's bright warning colours keep away predators, and it ejects a toxic foam when disturbed.
