Thank you Robert Read & Matthew Connors for confirming the id of this species for us EXTRA - Photo Specific Information: This particular specimen was identified by Matthew Connors with our thanks. Originally identified as a Gumleaf Grasshopper (Goniaea australasiae), but Matthew noticed the error highlighting the head was the wrong shape. You can also see the antennae are much thinner with this species. General Species Information: Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere | |||||
