differential grasshopper - Melanoplus

in #macrophotography7 years ago

Gorgeous shot of the yellow phase of the differential grasshopper, Melanoplus differentialis. I wonder if the yellow color comes from feeding on toxic plants. Here in Lhokseumawe, I find them eating oleander, and almost all of them are of this yellow form.
