        If you look closely, the legs of both grasshoppers from your reference and my photo of Acrida ungarica are very thin and long while this one has more robust legs, especially the femur of the hind jumping legs is larger and they are shorter. The shape of the antennae is not the same either. Posted 11 years ago
