Phymateus
''Phymateus'' is a genus of grasshoppers belonging to the Pyrgomorphidae family. ==Description== Species of the genus ''Phymateus'' are African locusts about long. Some species at maturity are capable of long migratory flights. They raise and rustle wings when disturbed and may secrete a noxious fluid from the thoracic joint.〔''Field Guide to Insects'' - Picker, Griffiths & Weaving (2004)〕 These locusts feed on highly toxic plants and usually congregate in large numbers on trees and shrubs, arranged in such a way as to resemble foliage. Females of the species ''Phymateus morbillosus'' are unable to fly, despite fully developed wings.〔(Zoology Dept, University of Cape Town )〕
