Hi Jemma, yes that's why I didn't ID this to the species because I didn't see it fly. I'm suspecting it's the Pallid-winged since all of my others are but it looks a little different.
We started our hike early in the 30's and ended in the mid 70's :)
If you see them flying around,noting the wing color helps in ID. This helped me in the ID of pallid wing grasshoppers.Must be nice and warm to have these around.
