Teratodes monticollis, commonly known as the hooded grasshopper, is a species of grasshopper native to India and Sri Lanka.[1] It was described by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1832 as Gryllus monticollis.[2] It is the type species of the genus Teratodes, which was established by the French entomologist Gaspard Auguste Brullé in 1835.[3]
Hooded grasshoppers feed on tree leaves, and they can become serious pests of teak and sandalwood.[4] Both the nymphs and adults of the species are dull green in color. The pronotum expands into a large sharp "hood" structure edged with yellow-orange, giving them the general appearance of a leaf.[5]
