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.
ReplyDeleteUn saluto 😘

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.
ReplyDeleteOh, great you like cotton candy.....
