Clear-winged Grasshopper? - Chorthippus -

Kouchibouguac National Park, trail near Callendars Beach, Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada
August 8, 2012

Could this rather boldly patterned 'hopper be a Camnula, or is it something entirely different?

entirely different

This is an Orphulella, and appears to be O. pelidna. She also appears to be very loaded with eggs.

I have to go back there Wednesday, then...

Because Orphulella pelidna would be NEW FOR THE CANADIAN MARITIMES!! Wow. Very cool!! Must get more specimens to confirm without a doubt. Thanks David!

Have gone back (Aug 15 2012)...

And picked up four more specimens. Also saw at least ten at this spot and one at another several kilometres away. Interestingly, the majority had this funky colour pattern. Very attractive! I will post more under the Orphulella genus, perhaps one or some of the others will help nail the ID... Check out this thumb:
