It looks huge! And its hindlegs, that's so cool to see :) Posted 13 years ago

Hi Joost, I just stumbled on this one as it had been tagged "Aiolopus puissanti", but it is certainly not an Aiolopus or another Caelifera for that matter. It's clearly a Tettigonidae and even though I'm certainly no expert for Orthoptera I would think it must be Eupholidoptera chabrieri chabrieri, so I'll take the liberty to ID it as such.

    Thanks Joost, but for grasshoppers I have to do some searching and comparing too, just like the next guy - don't usually work on those. Happy to have found some better fitting names with you excellent photos though, as it makes these all the more valuable IMHO. Cheers, Arp Posted 5 years ago
