Achurum carinatum, the long-headed toothpick grasshopper, is a species of slant-faced grasshopper in the family Acrididae.

[1][2][3][4] The Longheaded Toothpick Grasshopper[5] is a small, cryptic grasshopper of the family Acrididae (subfamily Gomphocerinae) that is native to the southeast United States.

These grasshoppers resemble the grasses in which they're found, with long, slender bodies, slanted faces, flat antennae, and reduced wings.

These grasshoppers are flightless and have some variation in color, some having green or even black spots [6].
