Also known as matchstick grasshoppers, the monkey grasshopper has a three segmented tarsi and short antenna with a knobby organ at the tip. They are considered primitive and feed the more ancient plant groups, such as algae, ferns and gymnosperms.

Once again I am deeply honored to be considered for the Spotting of the Week :)
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
