Long-horned Groundhopper
Tetrix tenuicornis
The adult long-horned groundhopper inhabits open, damp ground with moss, low vegetation, and exposed soil, often near water. It grazes on algae, mosses, and small pieces of plant matter. When disturbed, it remains still in camouflage or springs away in a sharp hop, sometimes taking a short flight. Its unusually long, narrow pronotum extends over the abdomen and helps break up its outline on the ground.
