Field Notes

Description:

I think this is a type of migratory locust? Because of the hind legs... but I don't really know much and would welcome input!

Hi Jocelyn, I'm not an expert but I'm thinking it might be a bark-mimicking grasshopper (Coryphistes ruricola), possibly a nymph. Check out these resources and see what you think. http://eol.org/data_objects/16904369 http://v2.boldsystems.org/views/taxbrowser.php?taxon=Coryphistes http://lifeunseen.com/index2_list_287.php http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_grasshoppers/BarkMmicing.htm (look at the colour of the legs on the 3 instar)
