this looks like a male Chorthippus curtipennis to me
The yellow and black banded abdomen and the black hind 'knees' are good characters

Moved from Chloealtis abdominalis.

Hi Brandon, I will unlink the two. I'm guessing I got the female ID correct. I posted a Marsh Meadow I found a few days ago. Please let me know if i got that one correct. thanks.

yes, that one looks correct to me
And the female ID as C. abdominalis looks correct too
