Schistocerca Rubiginosa color form 3 - Schistocerca rubiginosa - Female
South Carolina, USA
Another color variation of this species, resembles a few of Damnificas' "looks" but the size(larger) and eye color(almost black as opposed to medium or light brown) gives it away. Also this variation has no stripe(though if memory serves me right I have seen other grey ones that have it). Not bred in captivity.

S. damnifica I suspect
The shape and smoothness of color favor S. damnifica in my eyes.
