Lesser marsh grasshopper holding on to grass I found a whole colony of these tiny grasshoppers right next to a pool. Due to them being so small, I assumed they must be juveniles, yet further research leads me to believe that this is the Lesser marsh grasshopper, which is small as an adult as well. They are approachable to about 0.5 meter if you don't make any sudden movements. Chorthippus albomarginatus,Heesch,Macro Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
