@PerisOF Plastic : Wish u the same....
@Nexttogone: Thank you...
Adarsha,
Wish you a Happy Diwali and Prosperous New Year!
Very nice find!
True Adarsha! we need SOS from the experts.
Yes Agnes...In that database 2 are from India...Very nice information you collected,,,I dont know on what basis we can differntiate minute differneces..Need to see what experts like Ashish say....
Yes, Adarsha, very confusing :(. T. ornata and T. arenosa are listed as North American species. There are a few Indian species mentioned, but adding to the confusion is the Paratettix genus. They also look like the Tetrix sp. Here's the database that I'm looking at: http://brim.nwipb.ac.cn/brim/grashopp/lo.... Perhaps for now, safe to say it is Family Tetrigidae (Pygmy Grasshopper), while further study is being made. I am also reviewing my spotting :)... Hope we get confirmation..
Agnes, it looks similar to Tetrix arenosa also..I am in confusion now!

Yes it is..it completely looks like Tetrix Ornata..Thank you AGNES!..U can take suggestion credit by suggesting it officially!
Could be a Tetrix sp...? http://bugguide.net/node/view/630069/bgi...
@Agnes: Yes..they look similar...But i think the difference is only thee color...Even the long tail looks similar!
Hello Adarsha... could be similar to my spotting of a Pygmy Grasshopper: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/147.... Pls check. Regards!
