I need help about ID. I've found this species in a heathland. Female and male of Chorthippus dorsatus? Thanks

Hi Roberto

This looks to me like a typical Italian Chorthippus dorsatus. As far as I saw now around the Marche region females seems to have always these short wings and the white stripe is almost always present.
The male you shot has as little longer wings as the ones I saw the last weeks.

Best regards
Florin

Thanks Florin!
