Orthoptera is an order of insects that comprises the grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets, including closely related insects, such as the bush crickets or katydids and wētā. The order is subdivided into two suborders: Caelifera – grasshoppers, locusts, and close relatives; and Ensifera – crickets and close relatives.

The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish it from bush crickets or katydids, it is sometimes referred to as the short-horned grasshopper. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.

Grasshoppers are insects of the suborder Caelifera within the order Orthoptera, which includes crickets and their allies in the other suborder Ensifera. They are probably the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which enable them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. They are hemimetabolous insects (they do not undergo complete metamorphosis) which hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage. At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change colour and behaviour and form swarms. Under these circumstances they are known as locusts.

A relatively large species with sizes ranging from 30 to 55 mm. A pair of pale yellow stripes running along the top of its body from above its eyes to the hind tip of its wings help to easily identify this species. This characteristic also gives this species its other rare name the yellow-striped grasshopper. The species also has a yellowish green coloration throughout its body due to chromoprotein and carotenoid. The rest of the body looks similar to that of most grasshopper species, with enlarged hind legs for jumping and two pairs of wings, with one set overlapping the other.

Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is probably the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago.

Gomphocerippus rufus belongs to the family Acrididae and is the only species of this genus in Europe. It also occurs in northern Asia. Males have a size of 14 - 16 mm, females can reach a size of 17 - 23 mm.

Their color is quite variable. The expanded white tips of the antennae are typical for this species.

Grasshoppers are insects of the order Orthoptera, suborder Caelifera. They are sometimes referred to as short-horned grasshoppers to distinguish them from the katydids (bush crickets) which have much longer antennae. They are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which enable them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously.

This grasshopper decided to pay me a visit and hopped up on to me for awhile. Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area - Pinconning, Michigan

Die Grundfarbe der Ödlandschrecken ist marmoriertes Graubraun.

Sie passen ihre Farbe, aber auch die Musterung, im Laufe ihrer Entwicklung an den Untergrund an.

Ihre Farbe kann dabei von einem hellen Grau bis fast schwarz reichen, auch ocker- und rotbraune Färbungen sind häufig zu finden.

Das Fluchtverhalten der Ödlandschrecken ist einzigartig unter den Springschrecken. Sie verlassen sich weitestgehend auf ihre Tarnung durch die Färbung und ducken sich entsprechend als Fluchtreflex auf den Boden statt, wie andere Schrecken, wegzuspringen. Erst bei einer sehr geringen Fluchtdistanz springen sie ab und fliegen einige Meter weiter.

Gerade bei Aufnahmen aus dieser Perspektive ist bei den Ödlandschrecken eine Menge Geduld gefragt.

Nähert man sich ihnen mit dem Makroobjektiv in Augenhöhe, fühlen sie sich entdeckt und bleiben selten für einige Sekunden ruhig sitzen 😉
