Field Notes

Description:

Medium-sized grasshopper, red eyes, brown and green body.

Habitat:

High in the mountains, in the Chipinque natural park in Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

Notes:

Wasn't afraid of human contact. I had to push it so it wouldn't be squished by the hikers behind me.

Nice species. Here is a close one (Omocestus sp.) but I am not convinced they are the same. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42068060@N06/8175544759/ http://www.tagschmetterlinge.de/html/heuschrecken/omocestus_rufipes.htm
