User's notes

A mating pair of, (I believe), Spur-throated locusts, also logged at sighting 4635617. Overall fawn and brown colours, broad fawn-yellow band running dorsally from front to back, flanked by a darker brown colour with lots of medium-small darker brown spots. Pale brown eyes and black antennae. What may be a throat spur is just discernible on the female one in photo 1
