    Default Grasshopper: Chorthippus Parallelus

    Captured this little chap along the Exe estuary today. He was quite still so I tweaked the blade of grass and he hopped to another so I could get a different point of view.

    OK I'll look up his latin name and edit it. edit it. I just thought it was a common grass hopper there were dozens of them and they all look the same.
    Thanks Rolf.

    I'm pretty sure that it is, in which case it would be Chorthippus Parallelus.
