Endangered Insect Cuff-Secretive Locust

What do we know about the secretive locust, the only grasshopper endemic to Michigan? It has short wings, but does not fly or sing and likes the cover of thick shrubs and open groves of pines and aspen.

Share the story of this imperiled insect through this statement cuff from the Endangered Insect Collection. The oxidized outline of the secretive locust stands out against a bright silver backdrop, appearing to move from one end of the cuff to another.

Sterling silver concave cuff with oxidization.

Cuff is 2 inches tall and 2 1/4 inches in diameter.
