I saw the following insect outside my door and can't name it.
I used see them in the bog 50 years ago.
Thanks a lot
I don't think it's related to me. |

It certainly does look like a grass hopper but I don't know enough about them to say which one.
I went to an insect physiology lecture last summer, it was probably the best lecture I've ever been at so I do know some interesting but disturbing facts about the little fellas. That's no good for identifying them though. |
