Thanks very much, Span102. I spotted this grasshopper while working on a gardening project. Came back with my camera & couldn't find it! It took a few minutes before I finally spotted it again.

You and me both @ConBoekel I find them quite difficult myself! But the more practice the better!!

Thanks for the comment, Clare. I am trying to learn hopper ID partly in response to an (entirely reasonable) moderator request for me to suggest IDs for the common ones and partly to narrow the field focus on which of millions of hoppers I will spend time and energy to photograph and load up. I believe I am making some progress but I do wish they each species only had one narrow band of colour range, just one instar, as well as zero dimorphism.
