Citrus Locust - Chondracris rosea

What a large, bright green specimen! With its grand size (based on the description I received), I initially thought it would turn out to be a specie of Birdwing Grasshopper. Research deeper to discover the identity of this insect, the only thing that was correct in my assumption was the family of Grasshopper (Acrididae) that this find belongs to. In fairness, it is a large family with around 10,000 members so the statistics were favorable. As a member of Acrididae - the Short-Horned Grasshoppers - it shares lineage with some of the North American Grasshoppers that we find familiar such as the Red-Legged Grasshopper. Those red spiky hindlegs only deepen the similarities! Though not a Birdwing, this Grasshopper does possess large wings: those green forewings cover a pink-red tinged hindwing. However, from my own investigations it is unclear whether those wings are used for distanced flight or just to slow descent after launching under normal conditions. I'm leaning towards the latter at time of writing, but any confirmation on the use of this Grasshopper's wings would be appreciated. Large species are certainly quite capable of distanced flight, such as the Carolina Locust (another Acrididae member). But that specie doesn't have the "eyes and markings" that this one does on the side of the thorax.

Remember earlier when I said that I thought this was a Birdwing Grasshopper? It seems others think the same way, as one of the informal names of this Grasshopper's subfamily is "Bird Locust" due to their large size. This subfamily also includes prominent pest species that can undergo swarming behavior, travel great distances via wind riding and devour their fill of crops. Though the term 'Locust' evokes a swarming picture, this Grasshopper fortunately doesn't appear to be one of the species that can enter a gregarious phase. Perhaps conditions aren't right to facilitate this morphological and behavioral change where it lives? Or perhaps it just isn't capable of such a transformation. No matter the case, I think we would have our hands full if this insect was capable of swarming. In fact, I'm certain that the situation would be quite dire, especially with the crops it feeds on! As the common name suggests, citric plants could be on the menu within its range, but it has also been reported to defoliate sweet potatoes, cotton, rice and sugarcane; all are important agricultural resources for humans. Though it doesn't seem to be able to swarm, more modest aggregations could be possible. With bright green coloration, they would have a camouflaged head-start when crops are plentiful.

Pictures were taken on October 3, 2019 in China with a Google Pixel.

Spots! 6U8A9336 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Imagine suddenly realizing that you have spots! A fawn’s white spots might seem to accentuate their appearance, but nothing could be farther from the truth. When they are huddled down in the underbrush, the spots help provide effective camouflage. But fawns more commonly look at their adult counterparts and they have long since lost their spots. This fawn is really just grooming itself, but its facial expression almost suggests intense surprise.

Insect Songs: Fall Field Cricket - Gryllus pennsylvanicus

Throughout last week I revisited a video on this blog that showcases a crafty Cricket sheltering within a rocky hollow while singing his song. His hideaway simultaneously functioned as both protection from intruders and amplifier of his chirping. While both listening to the audio over and over to clean it up and writing a description for its upload onto YouTube, I was reminded of one of the more important facts regarding insect noises and calls of this type. Plain and simple, what we're hearing is not one continuous sound; it is instead a series of rapid clicks/blips that coalesce together into a series of chirps. It sounds continuous given the speed at which the (in this case) wings scrape against each other. For this post, I want to show you what I mean and allow the opportunity to hear the difference, but I do apologize for any background noise. The audio displayed here is a small sampling taken directly from the singing Cricket video residing on this blog. I recommend you revisit it to see this great specimen in action and observe how his chirps are made using his wings rather than his legs.

Pictured below is a typical example of how a Field Cricket song normally appears in audio form. Each chirp appears in a series of 3 amplitude spikes. Listen for yourself:

Sounds normal and as to be expected. The rapid wing movement makes a cohesive, pleasant, attention-grabbing chirp. However, if you isolate one of those amplitude spikes in the series and slow down the tempo by (at least) 100%, you can start to hear the individual clicks made by the wing stridulation. The sample below has been slowed by 200% in order to make the clicks a bit more distinguishable. And so, here are the individual clicks in a Cricket's song:

Admittedly, the background noise make it sound like there is a loading delay between clicks. Rest assured, this is not the case: the audio sounds correct. There you have it: the artistry of a male Field Cricket's song. For the next post, we will turn our attention to 2 more insects that grace us with songs during the summer months. Stay tuned for more.

Pictures were taken on October 7, 2019 with a Samsung Galaxy S4. Audio amplitude graphs were created using Audacity and samples from the following blog video: Fall Field Cricket

An Hour Well Spent 6U8A9128 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: After spending the afternoon painting the front porch I sat down to enjoy the evening. A faint rumble of thunder in the distance hinted at an evening storm. A faun meandered into the yard, nibbling on our flowers. I watched as it found a suitable spot to rest and wait for mom. My camera is always near. I grabbed it and found a spot to sit in the grass not far away. It was the best hour of the entire weekend.
