Green Grasshopper - Scudderia fasciata - Female
Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont, USA
August 10, 2007
Size: under 1 inch?
I'm wondering about this grasshopper, especially since it has that orange spade on the hind end...Anyone know what kind of GH it is, and what that orange thing is? Does anyone know of a good guidebook with pictures of grashoppers and facts etc?

Bush katydid.
This is a nymph, and female, of a bush katydid in the genus Scudderia. Even adult females cannot be identified to species unless associated with a male.

Bush Katydid, Scuderia
Thank you Eric for the ID! I have to buy a book for these guys, I really love Grasshoppers...and right now in Vermont, there's loads of them. Can you recommend a guidebook? I noticed a Fieldguide to GH, by John L. Capinera, Ralph D. Scott, Thomas J. Walker; is this a good book?
