Grasshoppers - Orthoptera

As you have probably noticed, I have not been posting many grasshoppers lately and that is not because I do not have pictures but because there is so little information available on them.

Acrididae Sp

 On a visit to an entomologist, I asked the reason for this and was told that there is no one study them!! Can you believe it? 

Acrididae Sp

I would think that the kind of destruction they cause sometimes plus the wonderful variety to be found that they would be an interesting species to study, but it seems not.

Miscellaneous Grasshoppers

We have grasshoppers of every description, shape, color and size here so I thought I would put together a small collection to show you.
