GrasshoppersMystery? Tadpole/grasshopper?
June 2, 2010
we found this bug (four legs) at a ponds edge. We thought it was a tadpole/frog but when we inspected it, it had an abdomon, looked like maybe wings, four legs and a grasshoppers head? It sure is a strange looking thing, very interesting. Please could you help us find out what it is? Thanks

Dear homeschool family,
We believe we have identified your grasshopper as a Hooded Grouse Locust, Paratettix cucullatus, by matching your photos to images posted to BugGuide.
