Female Syrbula admirabilis.
Nice shot of a female slantfaced grasshopper, Syrbula admirabilis. Males are much more slender, smaller, and brown with ivory markings! I thought they were two different species until I became familiar with them. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much Eric. Unlik
Thanks very much Eric. Unlike some of my other recently posted Orthoptera, which were apparently likely repeats, this one is a totally new species (and genus) for me in a subfamily I only have a few of. How satisfying to know a species rather than adding to a flock of unkown species in a genus! I wish I would've concentrated on taking more shots, but it was hard in the tall grass and I lost it.
