TitleCape Grasshopper
DescriptionDrawing of the oesophagus and stomach of a 'cape grasshopper' possibly a mole cricket), unsigned and undated, probably the work of William Bell, before 1789.
The drawing is captioned as being a 'Cape Grasshopper', but it accords closely with the description given by Hunter in his notes (Essays & Observations, II, 445) for the mole cricket.
