Cheryl Hoyle photographed three grasshoppers at Trafalgar Park Beach July 3.\u00a0 James Miskelly writes:\u00a0 The first two photos are Camnula pellucida<\/em><\/strong>. Its common name is Clear-winged Grasshopper<\/strong>. Many grasshoppers have clear wings but this one belongs to a subfamily where most species have coloured wings. The third photo is a Trimerotropis<\/em><\/strong> species. We have three local species. This one may be T. fontana<\/em><\/strong>, which is most common on rock outcrops.<\/p>\n
