its a Cricket not a Grasshopper - note the much longer antennae. I cant tell you which species though. |

Now I think - Leptophyes albovittata (Phaneropteridae) |

Hi, eguzki. I agree with second Mielczarek's reply. Firstly, it is undoubtedly Phaneropteridae - there are round openings of the acoustic organs on the tibia I as you see. Secondly, it is Leptophyes as it is wingless and has spotted femurs. I've got couple of specimens (male and female) of L.albovittata in my collection caught last summer in Central Russia. Having compared my specimens with that on the picture I tend to say that your grasshopper is L.albovittata male. Best regard, Sergey. |

Sorry about my ignorance but the Hungarian word "sz?cske" means grasshopper - jumping insect with long antennaes - and the word "s?ska" means - jumping insects with short antennaes - and the dictionaries translate to as "locust". Crickets are black or brown jumping insects which live in burrows and make shrill noises. I think there is a little confusion about the translations which are not correct. Thank you |
