A female Common Macrotona (Macrotona australis) laying eggs. This species of grasshopper is found throughout southern and eastern Australia in heath habitats, usually in conjunction with spinifex grass. It ranges from 1.7 to 3 cm (0.7 to 1.2 in) in length and is usually red or grey in colour, with bronze colouring behind the hind legs.Photo: Noodle snacks

Dead link

http://www.faunanet.gov.au/wos/factfile.cfm?Fact_ID=138 is a 404 error dead link. And the reason I clicked it is because spinifex shouldn't link to a disambiguation page; it should link to whichever entry on that disambiguation page is appropriate. Art LaPella (talk) 00:38, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
