Class

Acrididae

Chorthippus jutlandica, the Jutland bow-winged grasshopper, is a species of grasshopper in the subfamily Gomphocerinae. It is endemic to sparsely vegetated coastal sand dunes in an area covering only 87 km2 (34 sq mi) between Blåvandshuk and Hvide Sande in western Jutland, Denmark, but it is common (often the most common grasshopper species in its range and habitat) and not considered to be under any threat. Unusual for a very well-surveyed small country, the species was only scientifically described in 2003, having long been confused with its similar relatives, especially C.
