- has a scientific name, Dissosteira carolina.
- they are not major pest but may damage vegetations or gardens.

  5. Dove vivono ci sono due tipi di cavallette: grigie/marroni e verdi. Non conosco il loro nome scientifico, ma sono tremende, mangiano fin quando non hanno divorato tutto quello che c'è.
    Un saluto 😘

  7. I didn't realize there were so many species!
    It's incredible how such small creatures can be so diverse and yet so integral to our ecosystems.

  8. Very nice this blog about the grasshopper and a sweet cotton candy with it which also sometimes tasty .😉 But I also thought I saw the Schistocerca rubiginosa and is from the family field grasshoppers (Acrididae). (06) But i am not sure. I like those insects too. Greetings from the Netherlands.

  11. I do not know the species of grasshoppers in my area, but we certainly have scores of them during the summer - you have piqued my curiosity and I shall have to do some research. Thanks for all your grasshopper photos and the identifications! Joining you from Mosaic Monday - I am number 5 on the linky and I hope you will come for a visit!
