The Large Marsh
Grasshopper Stethophyma grossum is one of the largest and most colourful European grasshoppers and the
purple form of the female is a particularly beautiful insect. Although a rarity
in the UK and confined only to small areas this species was reasonably easy to
locate by sight or sound (listen for a ‘clicking’ noise) in appropriate damp
habitats in the South of France where this series of photographs was taken.
