About this species
Stenacris vitreipennis, known generally as the glassy-winged toothpick grasshopper or glassy-winged locust, is a species of spur-throat toothpick grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in North America and South America.
The average size of a male viteipennis is about 24–30 mm and that of a female is 27–40 mm. They have green to brownish green, long, slender, pointed head, sword-shaped antennae and spine beneath head in front of forelegs, distinguishing it from somewhat similar slant-faced grasshoppers, subfamily Gomphocerinae.
They are usually found in semiaquatic vegetation such as cattails (Typha spp.) and Pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata).
