Well deserved Ranger team's spotting of the week!
BTW, this is an adult grasshopper. We have plenty of species of grasshoppers (including monkey hoppers as this one) which are wingless as adults, although many are winged also.
Well deserved. Congratulations.
Awesome spotting and congrats on discovering this beauty!!

For all of you who liked this pic, there are plenty more in my book series "Grasshoppers of Northwest South America". You can get the book in Amazon and the second volume, featuring this species along with over 80 more, is due late August. Stay tuned!
