User's notes

A striking small grasshopper, coloured medium-bright green, pale tan, and black with occasional fine, cream to off-white, lines separating some of the contrasting colours. The green covers the dorsal thorax and head, and is separated from what appears to be black sides, by a thin cream coloured line at the margins. The bottom edge of the black section has a long and a short, thicker lones of cream colour towards the lower edges. The bright green upper rear have thin black lines marking their outer margins, and end in tan & brown where they join with their next lower sections. The upper abdomen surface is a pale tan-fawn and the sides appear black. I cannot detect wings of any size.
