Wildlife Spotting

Hi lmi1975.li, This was really a problem, mostly because the colour of the "insect" was very close to the colour of the foliage on your plant. When that happens, it is always difficult, but I think I know what this was. I am sure you are aware that insects do not have internal skeletons. What they have is a hard external covering which protects them like a suit of armour. It is called an exoskeleton. When the insect grows bigger, the exoskeleton becomes a tight fit and it cracks open, allowing the insect to climb out. The insect is then without protection for the short period it takes for a new outer cover to stiffen and become its new exoskeleton. The old "cast off" exoskeleton (which is now called an "Exuvia") is just left behind, where the moult took place. I am pretty sure that what you have in your picture is the Exuvia of a grasshopper. It would be very difficult to identify the species just from a photo of the exuvia. It would need to be closely examined and even then it might be impossible to be 100% sure. I think it would be best to call your spotting "Grasshopper Exuvia" (for the Common Name) and "Unidentified Tettigoniidae" (for the Scientific Name). If that was my Spotting, that's what I would call it.
