A small Mermiria bivittata grasshopper poses on dry brown soil.
Close-up view of a small grasshopper over dirt, it is a Mermiria bivittata and is facing to the right. The grasshopper has two stripes, with streaks of yellow and black, that extend from its eye to the ends of its body. It is held up in a slanted position with its head pointing up and its dark brown thin antennae sticking out. The grasshopper is over dry brown dirt, with bits of rocks and twigs buried around it, and tiny green plants seen above the insect, with slight dirt marks on them.
