Lesser Marsh Grasshopper (Chorthippus albomarginatus)

Shirebrook, Notts, September 4, 2012

Nether Langwith, Notts, August 28. 2012

Nether Langwith, Notts, September 22, 2012, very frequent here

Very similar to the Meadow Grasshopper (C. parallelus) in appearance, both having almost parallel-sided pronotal plates, but this species is fully-winged and rather drab-coloured and sometime has a pale wing margin. Shorter winged forms also occur here.
