The Mottled Grasshopper (Myrmeleotettix maculatus) is a small grasshopper with many colour variations, ranging through greens, browns and greys.
It lives in dry, sunny places where the grass is short and there is bare ground or rocks. Railway sidings, old quarries, heathland and coastal areas are the main habitats where it is found.
Nymphs hatch from the end of April to June. Adults appear by mid June through to October.
The Mottled Grasshopper is widely distributed but not common in the UK.
