An interesting black ball - Elegant grasshopper (Zonocerus elegans) Pamphagidae
During my walk I noticed a strange black ball on one of the bushes. It was about 5cm (4 inches) in diameter. On closer inspection, it turned out to be hundreds of little grasshoppers in a cluster.
In six weeks time, they will turn into this.....elegant grasshopper (zonocerus elegans)
