What color is a grasshopper?

Grasshoppers are normally a brown or yellowish brown colour, although a few species have some slight green shading in places.

They colouring is often mistaken as bright green, the colour of grass, but this is a fallacy, and grasshoppers despite their name do not take on the colour of grass. This green colouring is often exhibited by crickets, a species that different from the grasshopper.
