外見

The Carolina Grasshopper is a large, sturdy insect, typically mottled brownish-grey to tan, helping it blend with bare ground or sandy areas. Its most distinguishing feature is the black hindwings bordered by a pale yellow band, visible only when it takes flight. This coloration makes it look very different from many green field grasshoppers.
