Pygmy grasshopper

Description:

Tetrigidae is a family in the order Orthoptera, that also includes similar families such as crickets, grasshoppers, and katydids. Species within the Tetrigidae are variously called grouse locusts, pygmy locusts, groundhoppers or pygmy grasshoppers. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrigidae)

Notes:

The hopper is one of the smallest I have seen. So you can imagine the size of the fly in the foreground. Found in Nelliyampathy hills, a part of the Western Ghats, in Palakkad District, Kerala State, India
