Grasshopper Help?
Hello Bugman,
My name is Steve… And I am a bugoholic. A few years ago during a trip to Guatemala, this little guy suddenly apeared. Forward to the present. The last couple days have been spent looking for his scientific name. Suddenly your website appeared. Could you please help? I’ve included a picture and a small map showing the location. Really looking forward to your response. Sincerely,
Steve Maus

Hi Steve,
We often have problems identifying our own grasshoppers in the contiguous United States. The antennae are one of the most important identification features, and sadly, your image crops into the antennae. WE will post your photo and see if anyone writes in with an identification.
