grasshoppers

The Obscure Bird Grasshopper is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly into the fields and open woodlands of the eastern U.S. Females grow up to 6.5 cm. In comparison, males reach up to 4.5 cm. They are green with a pale-yellow stripe along their body and olive-green forewings and sometimes spotted with brown (more common in females). This grasshopper’s natural hues make it nearly invisible among vegetation, an essential survival strategy in its habitat.
