OK, thanks! You may use this in the relevant insect book if you wish \O

Hi everyone 0/*

Here are some more grasshopper/crickets to be ID'd for the insect book. All taken in my garden in Randburg.

1. This is a small grasshopper, perhaps 2-3cms long so I don't think it's a garden locust.

2.
Done \O

3. Garden Locust in brown form????

I'm pretty sure the last one is a Common Bluetail Damselfly.
