Pygmy Reddish Grasshopper? - Tettigidea lateralis - Male Female
Bullitt County, Kentucky, USA
April 13, 2016
Size: 12mm?
I probably would not have seen these if they hadn't been mating. They were so small and blended in so well that I would lose track of them between shots. The Female was noticeably larger and reddish color.
