Tasmanian Grasshopper, Tasmaniacris tasmaniensis. A Tasmanian endemic species (and genera). This is the only representative of its genus. This species has highly variable colouring.
Robert Read kindly provided the following information to differentiate this from Phaulacridium: Note the very small wing, much smaller than in Phaulacridium. The hind margin of the pronotum is concave (as for most of the Tasmanian endemices), not convex as for Phaulacridium. The surface of the pronotum is rather rough not smooth. Look for these features, not the confusing array of colours and patterns the two species have.
