Prairie habitat

Notes:

I've narrowed this to the subfamily, but haven't been able to get beyond that. This one appears to be immature due to the short wing length.

Thanks Stephanie! I really like the streamlined shape that it has. Much different from the normal grasshoppers that we see.

Very interesting looking grasshopper; the eyes are so unusual! Excellent capture, Bill!
