California orange-winged grasshopper
Arphia ramona, the California orange-winged grasshopper, is a band-winged grasshopper species in the family Acrididae. It is characterized by orange hind wings that are concealed at rest but visible in flight. The species occurs in western North America, with a strong association with California habitats ranging from Coast Ranges to interior locations. Males produce a crackling sound during flight through wing crepitation, a trait associated with mating behavior.
