Yellow-winged Locust

Yellow-winged Locust
This little grasshopper (about 50mm long) was sitting on our driveway. It watched me closely as I took this image. After doing some homework, I can now say that it is a Yellow-winged Locust (Gastrimargus musicus) and reasonably common across Australia. The image in the note would be better for identification purposes.

Taking our lead from the grasshopper, we're hopping away over Easter. It's unlikely I'll be online again until our return. Best wishes for the Easter period, everyone.

Super shot, George, and its great to make his acquaintance! Are you raking up many leaves there yet this fall? It's expected to be near 80F here today, much too early for that!

Thanks, John. No leaf fall yet: generally it's not until May in this area. We have only one deciduous tree (a Japanese maple), so that's a job yet to come. (Temps here still in the 20s - say about 75F).

I'm not into locusts at all, George, so I'm glad this fellow is only on my screen. But at least he is quite small and quite handsome too. I like your note as well.
