Tropidacris grasshopper
Hello there,
I managed to take a picture today of what looks like the "Mexican grasshopper" identified as a member of the genus Tropidacris here:
http://www.whatsthatbug.com /grasshoppers.html I don’t know if my picture is of any use, since the insect has already been identified. But, in case it is, each tile on the wall measures 10x10cm, and the shot was taken in Fortaleza, Brazil. Cheers, (love the site!)
Thaïs.

Dear Thaïs,
Thanks for sending your photo of Tropidacris dux, sometimes called a Giant Brown Cricket despite being a grasshopper.
