La specie, considerando il periodo e la regione, potrebbe essere lo striolatum o il meridionale. Grazie Angelo Marchetti !

Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is possibly the most ancient 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 allow them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. Their front leg is shorter and used for grasping food. As hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis; they hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage.

Macho de Coenagrion scitulum en vuelo, fue un día que recuerdo con inmensa alegría por la gran cantidad de individuos de esta especie, disfrutando así, de sus idas y venidas sobre el agua cerca de la orilla, de sus vuelos, de sus cópulas, de sus puestas..., una mañana de ensueño por ser las primeras fotos a estos activos residentes de la charca.

Una mañana en “El Coto”, disfrutando de las emergencias, a primeras horas, con los innumerables Orthetrum cancellatum ya emergidos, dejando constancia de su exitosa eclosión y proseguir la vida en su particular etapa alada. Otros más retrasados, pero rápidos en abandonar su cascarón, como esta Enallagma cyathigerum en pleno esfuerzo, tratando de sacar su oprimido abdomen.

Con esta imagen de Ischnura graellsii, hembras tipo B (infuscans) que ponían sus huevos sobre tallos o ramas flotantes en un remanso del río, finalizo esta serie sobre ellas. Fue muy agradable todos esos días que dediqué a buscarlas en este tramo del Riu Congost (Montmeló) y alrededores.
