GrasshoppersMystery bug : )
Hi – we found this in our garage and figure it’s some sort of grasshopper – but the wildest one we’ve ever seen! We live just north of Phx, AZ. Any idea what it is?
Thanks!
Beth
Hi Beth,
I guess it won’t surprise you that your grasshopper is a Painted Grasshopper, Dactylotum bicolor. This little beauty is found in the Arizona, Texas and Colorado in desert grasslands and sometimes alfalfa fields.
