Grasshopper

Catching a shot of this guy was not an easy task! Ducking behind leafs and jumping.. it took a moment to get a good shot!

I agree it is a great shot, really hard to catch these little guys!
I am not 100% convinced of the identification though so not created it just yet. The photo I found here looks quite different. Are you able to provide the source that you got your ID from? It would really help, thank you!

    Thanks for that, still not totally convinced as the markings seem more pronounced on yours, but leave it with me, when I have a little time I will delve a bit more. Sorry but I am not very good with insects! Posted 11 years ago
