[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Grasshoppers are herbivorous insects of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish them from bush crickets or katydids, they are sometimes referred to as short-horned grasshoppers. Species that change color and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.
Grasshoppers have antennae that are almost always shorter than the body (sometimes filamentous), and short ovipositors. Those species that make easily heard noises usually do so by rubbing the hind femurs against the forewings or abdomen (stridulation), or by snapping the wings in flight. Tympana, if present, are on the sides of the first abdominal segment. The hind femora are typically long and strong, fitted for leaping. Generally they are winged, but hind wings are membranous while front wings (tegmina) are coriaceous and not fit for flight. Females are normally larger than males, with short ovipositors. Males have a single unpaired plate at the end of the abdomen. Females have two pairs of valves ( triangles) at the end of the abdomen used to dig in sand when egg laying.

Hey Siegfried,

That`s one dangerous looking grasshopper! Beautifully focused and captured, it`s neatly camouflaged - had to look twice. :)

Best regards.

Hallo Siegfried,

prächtige Heuschrecke, trotz perfekter Tarnung, dank der Schärfe des Bildes in all ihren Einzelheiten sehr gut zu erkennen... sehr schöne Aufnahme!

Schönes Wocheende
Günther
