I'm not entirely sure that it is the rufus grasshopper, there was not much info to go on so I chose one that looked mostly alike, but then I noticed that the rufus grasshopper have club-like antennas, this one doesn't seem to have it, so maybe it is another species...there are 17 types of grasshoppers in Norway and maybe 4 look alike and have color-variations that makes it a little bit hard to be sure I have the correct specimen .
