Grasshoppers are generally known for their jumping ability. Anyone who has tried to catch one will know that this is an invaluable defence mechanism for getting away from predators. But what if you don’t need to get away from predators? The koppie foam grasshopper, Dictyophorus spumans, is such a creature for few, if any, predators would choose to eat one of these as a meal.
