  1. And, in breaking news, here's the first migratory locust ever seen in Lincoln, NZ, seen today by William Harland at 2:30 pm.

    This is a widespread cosmopolitan species considered native to NZ, and with the Māori name Kapakapa. In the right conditions elsewhere in the world it reaches pest-level densities.

  6. Today I learned that #Grasshoppers #Molt .

    This #Bug took it's clothes off on me, what do I do? :KEKW:

  7. Pavonia rock rose pollen grains are huge! Here's a photo I took this week of a young bird grasshopper hanging out, just grubby with massive pollen grains. #Insects #Schistocerca #Bloomscrolling #Grasshoppers #Pink

  8. @Tooden Um... Not a good example... (Despite what the media and tourism wants you to think.)

    Genetic and ecological studies of animals in #Chernobyl and #Fukushima

    by Timothy A Mousseau, Anders P Møller

    2014 Sep-Oct

    "Recent advances in genetic and ecological studies of wild animal populations in Chernobyl and Fukushima have demonstrated significant genetic, physiological, developmental, and fitness effects stemming from exposure to #radioactive contaminants. The few genetic studies that have been conducted in Chernobyl generally show elevated rates of #GeneticDamage and #Mutation rates. All major taxonomic groups investigated (i.e., #birds, #bees, #butterflies, #grasshoppers, #dragonflies, #spiders, #mammals) displayed reduced population sizes in highly radioactive parts of the #ChernobylExclusionZone. In #Fukushima, population censuses of birds, butterflies, and #cicadas suggested that abundances were negatively impacted by exposure to radioactive contaminants, while other groups (e.g., dragonflies, grasshoppers, bees, spiders) showed no significant declines, at least during the first summer following the disaster.

    "Insufficient information exists for groups other than insects and birds to assess effects on life history at this time. The differences observed between Fukushima and Chernobyl may reflect the different times of exposure and the significance of multigenerational mutation accumulation in Chernobyl compared to Fukushima. There was considerable variation among taxa in their apparent sensitivity to radiation and this reflects in part life history, physiology, behavior, and evolutionary history. Interestingly, for birds, population declines in Chernobyl can be predicted by historical mitochondrial #DNA base-pair substitution rates that may reflect intrinsic #DNARepair ability."

  9. Lots of grasshoppers in Greece these days. I don't know any of the species.
