Brown Grasshopper - Name Please

Brown Grasshopper On Car

A brown coloured grasshopper, with its colouration looking very much like that of a dried-up durian leaf. Not surprisingly, I do have a durian tree out in my front-yard.

My second encounter with this grasshopper species. The first was in 2015, if I am not mistaken.

Unfortunately, I failed in finding out the name of this species - just couldn't find anything about it on the web. Anybody knows?

    1. Hey! Thanks for your effort.

      You know what,from my observation, the link that you provide might be the same species as what I have photographed above. There are a few more photos from the same photographer (from Thailand) but at different perspective. Unfortunately, the grasshopper's name was not given in the description.

      Thanks again.

    1. Hey! Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, first link is down at the moment; I will check again later.

      I really appreciate your effort. But don't lose sleep over it as it is just out of curiosity and for my knowledge to identify the wildlife around my home by name. Full marks for you effort. Thanks again.
