Slender Restio Grasshopper: Endangered Cape Species

Kick off 2025 with our first 'Under the Microscope' entry! Meet the Betiscoides meridionalis (Slender Restio Grasshopper) - a stunning, wingless beauty renowned for mimicking restio plants.

Did You Know?

• This leggy wonder is endemic to the Western Cape.
• Its slender frame helps it blend seamlessly into its restio habitat.
• All three species of the genus Betiscoides are classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

Help us protect unique species like these by supporting the Grootbos Foundation.
