Rosemary Grasshopper
The rosemary grasshopper (Schistocerca ceratiola) is a Florida endemic, found only on dry, sandy ridges on the Florida peninsula. It only occurs on one type of plant, the Florida rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides). It is one of the rarest and most difficult to find of all grasshoppers.
This one was found by my friend Cayley Buckner on a field trip with Erika and I and her parents, Jim and Mary Buckner, in the Ancient Island Scrub area of the Ocala National Forest in Marion County, FL on 9/13/17.
It is an adult male on a Florida rosemary plant.
