Thanks Shane....
Are these the ones that flash pink when they fly? ...If so, we saw quite a few of those.... Plus another, bigger one that flashed a grey/blue, but I didn't get a pic of that one, and we don't have a field guide that covers grasshoppers, so no clue really....
All the best... Ray

The grasshopper with the blue wings that you often see in Greece
is most usually Oedipoda caerulescens (the second name says it all!).
No English name....Blue-winged Grasshopper might do, though!!

Thanks David....
Must confess that finding Kefalonia to be less than exciting with any of my more usual suspects - birds, butterflies and dragonflies - so hence the interest in grasshoppers.... an area about which I know nothing!!
All the best.... Ray
