Ornithacris [1] is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. [2] These are large insects, recognisable by their brightly coloured wings when caught: although they are difficult to catch being strong fliers. Species are found throughout Africa, south of the Sahara and may be moderately significant to minor agricultural pests. [3]
