Locusts

in #animal8 years ago

This steemit friend of mine wrote my discussion about Grasshopper.
Did you know that Grasshopper is a herbivorous insect of the suborder of Caelifera in Orthoptera order.

Grasshopper has an antenna that is almost always shorter than its body and also has a short ovipositor. And the sounds of some locust species are usually produced by rubbing the rear femur against the front or abdominal wings (called stridulation), or by flapping its wings while flying.
The rear femur is generally long and strong which is suitable for jumping.

These insects are generally winged, although their wings are sometimes unavailable to fly.
Do not know, if the female locust is generally larger than the male grasshopper.

For those of you who are Islamic, we must have known that in Islam, Swlain of fish, grasshoppers are one of the two animals that when it first died is still lawful to eat.

so from me @rizkydpr , hopefully can add to our insight.
