Found it in the Croatian velebit mountains about 1200m high

Grandioses Set! Ich habe mal im Netz geschaut und bin auf folgende Seite gelandet: klick mal hier! Dort findest du eine Menge an Heuschrecken und Grillen. Und ich meine da sieht ihr eine verdammt ähnlich aus. Aber schau lieber nochmal selber ;-) Gruß bolle ????? · 2010-08-02: 10:54

It looks like a bug to me. ;) smbunation · 2010-08-02: 11:01

it is a grasshopper! but now which one? O_O Grasshoppers and months are the hardest insects to ID, there are million of them :( I could only ID one in my whole findings! sorry , I cannot help you this time Gerd :/ but excellent one! ;) onlyricky · 2010-08-02: 12:27

No help from me either, but great shots!!! Eiram · 2010-08-02: 12:45

Looks quite a bit like a locust! Yikes! ArtBee · 2010-08-02: 14:21

Was es so alles gibt! :-) Wasichseh · 2010-08-02: 15:03

Wonderfully clear shots, but if it's NOT a grasshopper, then I don't know what one is! If you're looking for a specific species, then I'm lost, too! So, I might call it the standard "Summer-grasshopper-found-in-every-yard-in-Arkansas" variety! djnana · 2010-08-02: 19:27

It's super cute... But I must agree with Ricky, grasshoppers are really hard to identify due to the huge number of species... Sorry, Gerd... I've looked in my archives and nothing helps. Perhaps you've found a new species!! So let's name it. :D ????? · 2010-08-03: 08:58

Ist es so wichtig, seinen Namen zu kennen? Die Heuschrecke schert sich bestimmt nicht um Deinen Namen ;)) Unchained · 2010-08-03: 19:32

it sure is a grasshopper but no idea which one, but i do know the shots are great, love the first one best. eternity65 · 2010-08-04: 19:10

Well, I'm not good in identifying fishes and mammals... and I'm not better with bugs... Surely (my sailorgirl opinion) is that bug is a grasshopper ;-)) Red wine or not. ????? · 2010-08-05: 10:02

I have no clue! But it is really interesting! HoosierAtHeART · 2010-08-07: 09:51
