It is Euchorthippus pulvinatus.

According to acrida: there is no A. bicolor in our fauna, there is A. ungarica and either closely related to it, or even synonymous taxa with an incomprehensible status Acrida caucasica and Acrida anatolica. Well, there is also A. oxycephala in the European part, but it is more eastern.

According to Mishchenko, I honestly identified the acridae collected in Adygea and Krasnodar Krai as A. caucasica. But until no one studies their bioacoustics, this definition is of little use.

Do you think akrida can also be pre-signed as caucasica?
It seems to me that in addition to acoustics, genetics is also important: in entomology, in general, there are many separate "species"that are probably not species. Some on the sidelines call the figure-up to 40 %.

Difficult question. On the site orthoptera.speciesfile.org A. caucasica is synonymous with A. anatolica (this site should be taken seriously, this is not an amateur craft, but quite a solid project supervised by specialists... although not without sins, of course).

>It seems to me that in addition to acoustics, genetics is also important
With locusts, a specific case: cytogenetically, they are very monotonous. In general, a young group that has relatively recently produced a mass of barely distinguishable taxa. Often, ethological isolation is the only mechanism preventing mass interbreeding. As for the mechanics: some authors write strange things, and they build completely absurd trees. It seems too early to use it as a working tool in this group

Hello, dear pryamoptera experts! I have a car and a small cart of photos of all sorts of "grasshoppers", the exact definition of which was not available to me. I really hope for your qualified help. All photos from the Moscow region (Moscow and Lyubertsy) August-September of this year.
I'll start with the long sawyers.

I believe it is a female green grasshopper, Tettigonia viridissima. So? Can there be gray grasshoppers that are completely green? It was just that this lady and another one like her were hovering around a singing male gray grasshopper.

Here, in fact, about such a male was. This one is from the same vacant lot.

Did I correctly identify it as the Grey Grasshopper Decticus verrucivorus?

But this is also a gray grasshopper A gray grasshopper Decticus verrucivorus? Even though it's green. This one is already from the outskirts of Moscow, Bitsevsky Park

Is this the common swordsman Conocephalus discolor? Male and female on a vacant lot in Lyubertsy

But here I am completely at a loss, and I could not determine the types of jumps (or is it all one type?)

This, as I understand it, is an ashy shrub, but I don't understand the specific name in Latin, in different sources they are different: Pholidoptera cinerea or Pholidoptera griseoaptera
