Clear-winged Grasshopper (Camnula pellucida)Observer
eduardo_singh_moralesDescription
This grasshopper was about 2.5 inches long. It took me three attempts to successfully catch this grasshopper and I speculate it was the only one at the pond. It was missing a leg and appeared to be a matured adult. This organism was probably not able to jump correctly because it would always hop diagnolly.
