James Miskelly says, of the grasshopper below: Confirmation of Trimerotropis species should include the colour of the hind tibiae, but based on location and habitat I’ll say this is Trimerotropis pallidipennis. It’s a widespread species in North and South America that in our area is found mainly in coastal sand ecosystems.
