AI has not got the hang of grasshoppers yet. Perala is among the first adult grasshoppers to appear in spring. Female brachypterus, smaller male winged - the buzzer (crepitation).

Thanks, that's helpful information! I was surprised to come across this relatively large grasshopper, when all the other ones I saw on this occasion still were really tiny.
