📖 1. Overview

Atractomorpha lata is a grasshopper commonly seen from June to October in grasslands throughout the Korean Peninsula, and is also distributed in northern China, Japan, and Taiwan. The National List of Species of Korea also records it as endemic to the Korean Peninsula.

Males have a body length of about 25 mm and females about 42 mm, making females much larger. Most are green morphs, though grayish-green and brown morphs also occur. With a distinctly spindle-shaped body and an elongated conical head, it looks like a miniature Oriental longheaded locust (Acrida cinerea), and its antennae are shorter than its body length.
