The Wingless Mountain Grasshopper is a special bug that lives in the mountains. It has no wings, but it can hop really well! These grasshoppers are great at blending in with their rocky homes.
Habitat: Mountain regions
The Wingless Mountain Grasshopper is a stout-bodied insect, typically mottled brown, grey, or greenish, allowing it to blend seamlessly with rocks and sparse vegetation. It has very noticeable powerful hind legs adapted for jumping, but lacks any wings, making it distinctly ground-bound.
