·         The handsomely marked Stripe-winged Grasshopper Stenobothrus lineatus is most readily located by listening for the distinctive stridulation of the males and recognised both by its behaviour (watch for the movements of the hind legs) and the characteristic white pterostigmata. The stridulation has been likened to the sound of a sewing machine and this stands out against other grasshopper stridulations for those still young enough to be able to hear these sound communications clearly. Unfortunately, older observers may lose the ability to detect high-frequency orthopteran stridulations and therefore it may be necessary to utilise bat-detectors when performing site surveys.
