its a Cricket not a Grasshopper - note the much longer antennae. I cant tell you which species though.


Hi Racketman!

Sorry about my ignorance but the Hungarian word "sz?cske" means grasshopper - jumping insect with long antennaes - and the word "s?ska" means - jumping insects with short antennaes - and the dictionaries translate to as "locust". Crickets are black or brown jumping insects which live in burrows and make shrill noises. I think there is a little confusion about the translations which are not correct.

Thank you
