Orthoptera - Grasshoppers, Crickets, Katydids

Below is a selection of images of grasshoppers, crickets & katydids seen in Peru in 2008-2010. Unfortunately I lack the time and resources necessary to determine the identification of these insects, so if you are able to put a name to any of them please contact me.

unidentified grasshopper, ref 899, Pantiacolla, 550m, Rio Alto Madre de Dios, Peru

Monkey Hopper ( Eumastacidae ) ref 301, Pantiacolla, 550m, Rio Alto Madre de Dios, Peru

unidentified Katydid, ref 890, Rio Pindayo, Peru

Chromacris peruviana, Tingo Maria, Peru

unidentified grasshopper, ref 873

Jumping Stick ( Proscopiidae ) Apioscelis sp., ref 922. The amazing stick-like appearance is reinforced by the odd posture of the legs. Although this looks remarkably like a stick insect, it is actually a type of grasshopper.
