  1. Mexican pygmy grasshopper (Clypeotettix mexicanus) on the banks of the Mississippi River. Like many species in the Tetrigidae it grazes on stranded river algae, so that's why it was there. In related news they are fairly good swimmers compared to other grasshoppers, in part due to expanded hind tibiae. Apparently not uncommon to find them partly submerged and seemingly pretending to be frogs, complete with fake poison glands. Some species carry extra air below the pronotum so that they can stay submerged. Vacherie, Louisiana. #grasshoppers #algae #riparian #tetrigidae #insects #nature #louisiana #nature #macro

  2. #Crickets and #grasshoppers communicate via #bioacoustics for mate recognition. In turn this can be used for #species #identification e.g. via passive audio monitoring and #machinelearning. Do you have some #mustreads on this topic?

    Die sass plötzlich auf dem Balkontisch, sprang wohl von einer Balkonpflanze her. Ich gab ihr #Wasser, sie schaffte es aber leider nicht.

  12. 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.

  17. Nowadays I rarely hear the grasshoppers, as a child I heard them a lot, but now it is kind of extremely rare to hear them. I don't specifically know why, whether it's because there are too few suitable green areas in my area or something else entirely.

  18. Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? A genetic mutation called erythrism (the overproduction of red pigment) leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Though these rare insects are beautiful, their vivid coloring makes hiding from predators much more difficult.

  22. Differential grasshopper giving out free hugs along Clear Creek Trail yesterday.

    Headed down to the Iowa River this morning to see if I can catch a sunrise. Wish me luck 🤞👍.
