Western Horse Lubber Grasshoper

The males of this species have an interesting character; they turn a blind eye to gender, race, and even to different creatures altogether when choosing a mate for intercourse. That is, they are comfortable mounting male and female Western Horse Lubbers, other kinds of grasshopers, and some lizard species. On top of that, they must not have much game and actively stalk an unwillinging female before surprisingly mounting them, which causes the victim to react violently. On a different subject, the males are the only ones that fly, yet their bulky size limits flight as being very useful (probably why this one preferred to walk a road than fly over it). The name seems to come from how the head in a side view (like this shot) resembles a horse.
