Orthoptera of Straw

I was so very pleased to find this specimen in our field one day. For some time, I have been interested in insect camouflage, and the variety of forms this takes. This grasshopper (Order Orthoptera, sub-Order Caelifera) was completely hidden from observation until it took flight. This picture was taken from less than 20 cm away and still it is difficult to distinguish it from the rice straw in which it is positioned

Notice the shortened antennae, characteristic of grasshoppers (as compared to the sub-Order Enisfera- the crickets and katydids).
