Field Notes

Description:

About 2cm body length, thorax and forewings are green, while the head and legs are brown, abdomen also brown, but with a pale underside; the wings extend beyond the body; its head is slightly elongated upwards, placing the eyes above the rest of the body. This probably gives the grasshopper a nearly 360º vision.

Habitat:

Tropical rainforest in the Ecuadorian Amazon region.
