Cone-headed grasshopper

Acrida ungarica

Description:

~4cm long, harsh green grasshopper

Habitat:

Mosaic of grasslands and cultivated parcells.

Notes:

I was driving through a grassy area when 'something big' knocked into the car.
Shortly after the 'impact' it got better and I could set it free.

Hungarian name: Sisakos sáska (~Helmet mantis)

Wow, what a beauty! That second shot really shows it well. Did it jump in the car or something?
