Marsh Meadow Grasshopper - Chorthippus curtipennis - Male
Richmond Hill, York Region, Ontario, Canada
Another specimen from my old collection, recently relaxed, spread and mounted. It shows the relatively short wings, as well as black "knee" joints typical of this species. Note the pink flush in this specimen's wings.
