The Leek Grasshopper Mecostethus parapleurus favours damp grasslands in continental Europe. The
black lateral marking extending back from the compound eye is distinctive if
present, but not all examples are as clearly marked as the male and female
illustrated above. Males may be yellowish, but females are an attractive shade
of bright green.
