Graceful Sedge Grasshopper in Kouchibouguac National Park, red form female - Stethophyma gracilis - Female
Kellys Bog, Kouchibouguac National Park, Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada
August 8, 2012
Following a discussion with Dr Don McAlpine of the New Brunswick Museum, I learned that this beautiful red colour form of the female Graceful Sedge Grasshopper appears to be relatively common in our region and the colour persists just as vividly into full adulthood. What an amazing 'hopper!
