Ecosystem Damage and Photography
Before the visitor sees the results of the grasshopper picture that I drew on May 20, 2020, it is good to read the text below, just a little information for now.
In the past 16 years there has been a significant increase in damage and ecosystem damage in Aceh.
Damage to this ecosystem will cause disruption of the function of peatlands as a support system for human life, consequently all living things on
Because it is also disturbed because of its habitat.
Aceh is an area that has high biodiversity, good flora and fauna. Human activity due to changes in natural conditions and disturbance of ecosystem balance.
The number of insect species is largely determined by its reproductive activity
supported by a suitable environment and meets the needs of food sources.
The abundance and reproductive activity of insects in Aceh, the tropics, is strongly influenced by seasons. Insects are a class of animals, the most dominant life in the world today, in numbers they exceed other land animals and they are practically everywhere.
Insects have lived on earth for a long time compared to humans who are lacking two million years.
The head of the grasshopper has a pair of antennas, the chest has three pairs of legs and a pair of wings. Insects have the largest number all species on earth have various roles and existences in Aceh everywhere, making it a very important insect in the ecosystem and human life.
Insects can act as plant eaters, as parasitods, as predators, carcass eaters, as pollinators and as transmitter of certain diseases. Insects can also be used as indicators of environmental pollution. One of the insects that can be used as indicators of environmental pollution is the Order.
Insects as a counterweight to the ecosystem there are insects that eat plants and other small insects that may have the potential for certain plant pests. The Orthopedic Order Insects such as Grasshoppers occupy one of the food chains for animals.
If there is a food chain in the wild that is lost / destroyed, the automatic predatory animals on it will also be destroyed. For example when Grasshoppers are a food bird that loses their natural habitat then the birds will slowly become extinct.
Grasshoppers and their relatives are one type of insect that can live alone sometimes when they live in groups. This insect can live various environments in agriculture, bush, in the environment, in land plantations and so on.
They can also move from one place to another to look for food and even sometimes the places they visit can be damaged because they are very numerous for example in cultivation plants, such as omnivores, in addition to damage but these insects are too useful as food for other animals like birds and humans as food.
Thank you for taking a moment to read my writing. now let's look at the pictures below which are almost like a macro photo:

You know what that is? Not a grasshopper, but the larva of a dragonfly! :)
(Also here on STEEM you can write in Fascinating Insects.)
Thank you very much @jaki01,.......
Sorry if known here as the Ghost Grasshopper.
Speaking Odonata is one of the orders of insects which differ from the beginning in their determination from the order of other insects. If the order of other insects is classified based on their wings, it is different from the odonata classified by their teeth.
Dragonfly heads are generally filled with two large dragonfly eyes and other facial features. Thorax or dragonfly's chest cannot be folded because there are 4 long wings on its side. As for the abdomen tend to be the abdomen or have 8 to 10 segments.
Dragonfly wings are distinctive in shape that is oval or elongated and translucent, sometimes in attractive colors such as yellowish brown, green, blue, or red.
dragonfly larvae will live and develop in the water base. Where the dragonfly larvae breathe in water with the help of internal gills.
In this case even though it is an aquatic animal, in this phase dragonfly larvae can still live if they are moved ashore for hours.
Yes, sure, but before the adult dragonflies hatch, of course larvae leave water! And after that you can see the empty 'skins' of these larvae (nymphs) on plant stems!
Yes, you are right .... Nymph Stages
After the dragonfly eggs hatch, nymphs come out of the eggshells to then enter the bottom of shallow water. Dragonfly nymphs are classified as very ferocious carnivores.
He eats all aquatic microorganisms such as algae, tadpoles (frog larvae), fry, and predates his own friend. To survive in water, dragonfly nymphs breathe with gills on the tip of their stomach.
In the waters, nymphs continue to grow and develop. He underwent 7 to 11 skin changes (ecdisis) with each stage called instar.
In the process of metamorphosis of dragonflies, nymph stage is the stadium that consumes the most time. Stage nymphs can take between 4 weeks to 4 years. The duration of the nymph stage is strongly influenced by the species and the environment in which it lives.
Well, but my point was and is that in your pictures ... we see a nymph of dragonfly (to be exact: its empty shell). :)
Well, I really understand the purpose of your conversation, but ... all this, because I am happy to share with you, can you share your discord with me
