Common Pardillana - Pardillana limbata

Family ACRIDIDAE

This page contains pictures and information about the Common Pardillana Grasshoppers that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
 
Nymph, 5th instars, body length 40mm  
  
We found this nymph hiding on tree under stem late afternoon in Karawatha Park during early summer. It was orange-brown with blue dots. The colours was some what different than the other Gumleaf Grasshoppers that we saw.

We collected a nymph and kept it in a jar, fed it with fresh gum leaves. About two weeks later, it moulted and turned into an adults.
