Dactylotum bicolor, also known as the rainbow grasshopper, painted grasshopper, or the barber pole grasshopper, is a species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae.It is native to the United States, Canada and northern Mexico and exhibits aposematism (warning coloration).
During the Greek Archaic Era, the grasshopper was the symbol of the polis of Athens, [70] possibly because they were among the most common insects on the dry plains of Attica.
