White Tips - _TNY_4874

Rufous means red so the name rufous grasshopper (Gomphocerippus rufus) seems pretty fitting for this guy. They do vary a bit in colouration though, but there is an easy tell for identifying these.

 

Look at the antennae and you'll se how they are somewhat clublike at the end. Then look at the ends of the clubs and you can (sort of) see that the tips are white.

 

This is the only grasshopper in Sweden with white-tipped clubbed anteannae - making for a sure ID.
