Abstract

Hooded grasshopper belongs to the order Orthoptera and the family Acrididae. It is native to India and Sri Lanka. The hooded grasshopper, Teratodes monticollis, was described as Gryllus monticollis by English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1832. The distribution of this species has been recorded in different parts of Burma, Ceylon, and India. The contemporary reports about records of this species from various states of India are very limited. The authors observed the intraspecific colour variation of Teratodes monticollis in Bonai Forest Division, Odisha, India, and presented it here. It might be due to some abiotic stress in the study areas.
