Description

2 male (blue tegmina) & 1 female (green tegmina) Grasshoppers sat in harmony on this culm for hours; they hear with their first abdominal segment and use vibrations to locate each other. Even when they reach maturity wings are not fully developed so they can not fly. In the rice fields they are prey to dragonflies and the local communities also collect them to eat.
