·        The Meadow Grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus is one of the commonest British grasshoppers and it is variable in appearance with predominantly green or brown colouration. However, the length of the wings is reduced in the adults of both sexes (but beware confusion with nymphs of other species and the long-winged form explicatus of C. parallelus) and this is a useful identification characteristic when identifying this insect. The slightly incurved markings on the side keels of the pronotum may be faint in some specimens.
