grasshopper

The most ancient chewing herbivorous insects, plaguing the earth for 250 million years.  

 

Grasshoppers are mostly plant-eaters. At high population densities they can change colour and behaviour and form swarms, becoming a serious pest of cereals and vegetables and causing famine. When this happens they are called locusts.

Male grasshoppers spend much of the day stridulating - singing by rubbing body parts together. Their songs express sexual maturity, the desire for social cohesion and individual wellbeing. Conflicts between males over copulation rarely escalates beyond ritualistic displays.
