Hi Angus. It is important to select "grasshopper" in the category list so that the grasshopper moderator is notified of your sighting.

Grasshoppers are actually very sensitive species and it is best not to handle them - we appreciate that this makes it harder to ID, but we prefer this added difficulty to the possibility of an injury

Thanks Michael Mulvaney
