Groundhopper at Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB:
Hi All,
I would like confirmation as to the identity of this orthopteran seen at Burton Mere Wetlands recently.
I only had time to photograph it once on a fence before leaping off. Judging by its long pronotum, Slender rather than Common Groundhopper fits the bill better. I have discounted any grasshoppers as it seems too early for the nymphs to appear.
Cheers,
H
