Unless you are very lucky, I fear that you are unlikely to get a specific identification of these short-horned grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) on this forum. Recent references on these insects in India appear scarce; you might try locating a copy of the Outline of distribution with an index catalogue of Indian grasshoppers (Orthoptera : Acridoidea) by H.K. Bhowmik (see http://tinyurl.com/qqaeuk) or another book by him on the Grasshopper Fauna of West Bengal, India - see http://tinyurl.com/py5hht - I realize that West Bengal is a very great distance from your area, but it at least might give you a starting point.

Thanks for the clue suunto. Yes it is a fair distance from Mysore. If Bangalore or Hyderabad is found in clues it could be nearer to the exactness. Will check the links in due course.

This appears to be yet another in the family Acrididae.

Could this be the same as #2 above in a different stage of its life or something else?
