Great find Trevor and good that you didn't pick up to photograph, they are susceptible to damage if we handle them

Thanks Michael. I never manhandle my grasshoppers, but I do spend a comical amount of time chasing them. I'm sure the residents of Dunlop adjacent the reserve wondered what I was doing.

Michael & Trevor. Do we know the numbers of PO at Dunlop? It would be good to assess by flushing transects.
