Hi,

I thought this would be a very common grasshopper but I can't see it- could someone help me out? Many thanks.

The keels, on top of the thorax, appear well angled so a Field Grasshopper is possible.

But there are a few others which also have rather similar shaped keels so while this may help to rule out a few of the common possible suspects we are still left with a choice between several species, and colouration is unreliable at this stage of growth. So, as Ashe said, it will have to remain unconfirmed until it becomes adult.

Thanks to you both- makes sense why I couldn't find it anywhere now!
