Common Green Grasshopper
Omocestus viridulus
The adult is a small green grasshopper of moist meadows, rough grassland, heaths, and upland pastures across much of Europe. It feeds mainly on grasses and low vegetation, moving by rapid jumps and short flights when flushed. Males produce a soft buzzing song by rubbing the hind legs against the forewings. This species is often associated with cooler, damper grasslands than many other grasshoppers.
