#two striped grasshopper

[onenicebugperday]

@zenith-silverlight submitted: Greetings! I found some kind of weevil, both pictures are the same dude(tte?), and some type of grasshopper (I'd love to know what exact species either or both of them are, please)! Found in (please remove location) [removed].

And here's some bonus Bald-faced hornets, same area! (yeah unfortunately, the oak tree there has a bit of an aphid problem, the ladybug workers are understaffed and on strike).

Hello! There are a lot of mottled brown weevils, but my best guess on that one is a Canada thistle bud weevil. The grasshopper looks like a two-striped grasshopper.

And wow, that is a lot of aphids! Those ladybugs need to step up their games. But the bald-faced hornets are cute :)

[pleistocene-pride]

Melanoplus bivittatus better known as the two-striped grasshopper or yellow-striped grasshopper, is a poikilothermic species of grasshopper belonging to the genus Melanoplus which is native throughout North America from southern Canada to northern mexico and from the atlantic coast to the pacific coast. They tend to inhabit grasslands, wetlands, open forest understory, crop fields, parks, lawns, and basically anywhere with fields of vegetation on which they can easily feed. Two-striped Grasshoppers are active in the daytime and perch at the top of crops and vegetation at night to rest. Once the warm sunshine raises their body temperatures, they descend and either continues feeding or move on to new plants. Nymphs and adults can move in large migratory groups to new patches of vegetation. These swarms can been seen flying high above the ground.Two striped grasshoppers are themselves eaten by spiders, mantids, other invertebrates, and various reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. Reaching some 30 to 55 mm in length, two stripped grasshoppers are so named due to there pair of pale yellow stripes running along the top of the body from above the eyes to the hind tip of the wings. They also have a yellowish green coloration throughout its body due to chromoprotein and carotenoid.The rest of the body looks similar to that of most grasshopper species, with enlarged hind legs for jumping and two pairs of wings, with one set overlapping the other. Mating can last up to 10 hours as males transfer both food and sperm to the females. Said females lay around 450 eggs in the soil before winter, and nymphs hatch in the spring when temperatures begin to rise. It takes around 40 days for nymphs to reach the adult stage. Under ideal conditions a two stripped grasshopper may live upwards of 2 years.

REVIEWING THIS WHOLE BAG OF RUBBER BUGS:

I mentioned recently that bags of cheap rubber bugs are harder to come by in real stores, but that there are a few options for them online. I just received this set from Aliexpress that’s currently only $4 with free shipping, you might even find the same set cheaper since there’s multiple listings for it, but I can verify this source is using an accurate photo and I am now going to REVIEW THEM:

SPIDER: obligatory, all-purpose spider, ambiguous species, noodly legs, minimal paint application, 3/5

COCKROACH: nice silky black coloration on the back, tan on the underside, rather haphazard leg pose, I like it but in terms of objective quality it’s unfortunately a 2/5 compared to other fake roaches and even to other bugs in this set.

DRAGONFLIES: so this set is definitely pieced together from what were once multiple different rubber bug sets, but I can also confirm that you always get the same selection I’m reviewing, which includes several redundancies. You get both a large and small dragonfly with entirely different sculpts, the smaller one more accurately sculpted but not as dynamically painted! Both I’d give a 3/5, adequate dragonflies

ORTHOPTERA: you get a cricket AND two different styles of grasshopper! The big, detailed black and red cricket is crudely painted but very unique, 3.5/5. The small grasshopper is cute and inoffensive, barely painted, 3/5. The large grasshopper is a 4/5 for me because while I’ve seen plenty like it, it has a really nice gradient from lime green to a darker grassier green that I just find very pleasant.

BEES: two very differently sculpted bees, and they both use a sparkly metallic gold with black stripes. Both deserve a 4/5.

ANTS: collectively I’m gonna say these are a 3.5/5, on their own very plain but I like that together you have a dull yellow-tan ant with comical googly eyes and a bigger, more ominous shiny black ant with spooky red eyes. I like that the black ant is also tied with a couple others as the largest bug in the set. It’s actually only slightly larger than the real life Giant Amazonian ant, Dinoponera, which is also entirely black.

MANTIDS: excellent choice for another double bug, I like the simple cheapness of the little one with its awkwardly sculpted forelegs but to fair it’s a 2/5 compared to the 4/5 of the larger, red-eyed mantis which has more of that “sparkly” paint style!

SCORPIONS: the only other arachnids in the set, and it’s amazing they included two different scorpions but only one spider. Trust me when I say that’s the most radical maverick decision a rubber bug set has ever made in the history of mankind. The small red scorpion is alright, a 3 I guess. The larger one has only six legs which is not accurate (the claws of a scorpion are modified mouthparts, not legs!) but I can’t look at its little black eyes and not want to cry so 5/5 actually.

CICADA: not terribly common in these! Charming, chunky brown cicada, though the thorax piece is so transparent you can always see the hole it plugs into. At one time, this sculpt may have been part of a higher quality set that actually painted over this design flaw. 4/5 regardless.

FLY: there’s a pattern here in which almost every flying insect in the set has a gold-brown base, which I’m not a big fan of. Sadly I’m overall neutral on this fly, normally my favorite of all the basic insects, perhaps because it looks just as much like some sort of wasp. It’s definitely a fly due to having only one pair of wings, and plenty of flies look exactly like this, but I’d just be a bigger fan if it was a chunkier, larger-eyed blowfly or horsefly. 2.5/5

UNKNOWN: there are actually several insects this could possibly represent including a few Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera, but the one insect it most closely resembles is an adult caddisfly. I like it, but it’s difficult to fairly judge it with no certain identification so 3/5 has to do.

HAWKMOTH: stellar choice! I’ve seen only one cheap-grade plastic hawkmoth in my whole life, actually! Several hawkmoths are even clear-winged, though those usually still have dark markings around the wing edges. Would’ve been more accurate to some real species if they just cast the wings in a solid color, but that’s a trivial criticism. 5/5

WASP: the wasp is SO good. The paint on this one is skewed funny but that’s fine, the green of the abdomen pops really well and I love the grouchy red eyes. 5/5

CATERPILLAR: larvae are so rarely included in these, and when they are, they’re often an incredibly plain segmented tube that doesn’t look like anything in particular, or a recolor of a generic caterpillar I’ve seen several times before. This caterpillar sculpt is actually new to me and nicely shaped, with a tapering body and accurate limbs. It is however a rather stiff hunk of plastic, not as rubbery as the others, and honestly this is the one you would want rubberiest! Still a 5/5 for its inclusion at all.

BEETLE: beetles are the most abundant, diverse insect group and the most common rubber bug toy after spiders, so it’s another bold move that they include only one in this whole set and it isn’t even one of the more recognizable, more famous beetles. On its own merits as just a rubber beetle it’s a 3/5, but its metallic blue stands out so nicely in this set, and the sculpt appears to be some sort of blister beetle, a rare choice and a very cool (but dangerous! Don’t touch them!!!) insect group so 5/5

MOSQUITO: mosquitoes are another of my favorite animal groups, and as one of the world’s most abundant, most recognized, most controversial insects you’d think they’d be a standard bug toy already, but this is only the third plastic mosquito design I’ve ever seen in my entire long life! It’s brown, unpainted, dinky and bent funny. 10/5

elytra headcanons i doodled a while back! feat. my favorite joe ive ever drawn

(ID: five colored marker drawings of various hermits and their elytras. each drawing is labeled with what kind of elytra each character has. in order, these are “cloak”, “vex”, “boxelder bug”, “grasshopper”, and “spooky halloween cape thing”.

first is grian. he’s a fae with birdlike hands and feet and a whiplike tail which has feathers at the end, pointed ears, dishwater blond hair, black dot eyes, and freckles. he is wearing a red sweater, black cargo shorts, and reading glasses with small, circular lenses. his elytra is a cloak that has been cut and sewn to resemble simplified wings. the base of the wings are red and the false feathers are gold, with small buttons at each crease. grian is sitting with his elytra half unfurled around him.

next is scar. he’s a human with green eyes, brown hair, and scarred skin. he is wearing a brown brimmed hat, jacket, and pants, a white buttoned shirt, and he is holding a cane in his right hand, and gesturing with his left hand while smiling. his elytra are a pair of vex wings. they resemble simplified bat wings with moth-eaten holes and are a pale blue color.

next is tango. he’s a pale netherborn with messy, swept-back blond hair, pointed ears, sharp cheekbones, and stubble. he’s wearing a red shirt with grey circles on the biceps, gold-framed goggles with red lenses, oversized red work gloves, and black overalls. he has his back mostly turned to the camera and has his arms spread out. his smile is visible, but his eyes are obscured. there are two small, empty speech bubbles around him. his elytra are a pair of boxelder bug wings. they’re folded on his back, showing only the shell, which is black with red outlines.

next is joe hills. he’s a human with long brown hair with green tips, cat eye glasses, and a handlebar mustache. he is wearing and oversized blue t-shirt with a white ‘at’ symbol on it and blue pants with patches sewn on. he’s hovering in the air and smiling at the camera. his elytra are grasshopper wings. the top pair are long and thin, and are tan. the bottom pair are triangular and are mostly brown with a green bottom edge.

the final drawing is cleo. they’re a tall, fat zombie with orange snake hair, grey-green skin that has been stitched together, and white eyes with black sclera. she is walking toward the xamera and is wearing a long, flowing, low-cut dark blue dress with gold trim, a split skirt, and gathered sleeves just below the shoulders, black and white striped stockings, blue flowers in her hair, and gold flat shoes. their elytra is a large, tattered, dark blue cloak that resembles huge wings. they are spread up and out behind cleo in an awe-inspiring but menacing manner. end ID.)

According to all known laws of aviation,there is no way a bee should be able to fly.Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.The bee, of course, flies anywaybecause bees don't care what humans think is impossible.ANumber2Pencil, Dec 7, 2016#1dinocerosDonatorMessages:7,482Likes Received:29,999Yellow, black.

Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm a goth (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

"Hey Ebony!" shouted a voice. I looked up. It was… Draco Malfoy!

"What's up Draco?" I asked.

"Nothing." he said shyly.

But then, I heard my friends call me and I had to go away.

Now that I've finally gotten around to finishing my saved for later projects, I would like to share my insect pinning magnum opus. A shadow box full of nearly every insect I've ever worked on!

(Close ups and image descriptions below the keep reading. Image description also includes all speculative ids that are present on the labels you can see in the photos, so if you're curious as to what something is check there!)

I started this when I was still super new at the hobby, so some specimens are better preserved than others, but it's nice to see my improvement with all of them together. It's also nice to see a sort of representation of all the insect life around me with them.

A lot of these are also in rough shape since I scavenge all of my specimens (usually dead or dying), or am given scavenged specimens, and very few of them were raised or captured for the purpose of pinning. I think this definitely adds to the fun of the hobby though, since each one has a pretty unique story about how it was found or acquired.

Most ID's are also still subject to change and some are still speculative, since I do all my own research for them and am definitely not perfect.

[Image ID: One wide shot image of a black board with various insects displayed on it, with small hand written labels next to, above, or below each specimen. 8 images follow as close ups of each group of specimens. The first displays a painted lady butterfly, scientific name cynthia, next to two tomato hornworm moths, scientific name Manduca quinquemaculata, with two june beetle, scientific name cotinis nitida, and ten striped june beetle, scientific name polyphylla decemlineata, underneath. The second displays a white lined sphinx moth, scientific name hyles lineata, next to a nevada buckmoth, scientific name hemileaca nevadensis, and a monarch butterfly, scientific name danaus plexippus. The third displays two clear winged grasshoppers, scientific name camnula pellucida. The fourth displays two california mantis, scientific name stagmomantis californica, one is displayed on its back, the other on its belly. The fifth and sixth display two views of two scorpions, both either yellow ground scorpions, scientific name Paravaejovis confusus, or arizona bark scorpions, scientific name centraroides sculpturatus. The seventh displays a common green darner dragonfly, scientific name anax junius, and a shed dragonfly nymph exoskeleton. The eighth displays the exoskeleton of a giant water bug, scientific name abedus indentatus, next to a digger bee, scientific name anthophora spp, with a yellow faced bumble bee, scientific name bombus vosnesenskii, next to the digger bee. Below these three specimen are two other bee specimen, a western carpenter bee, scientific name xylocopa californica, and a valley carpenter bee, scientific name xylocopa varipunctata, as well as a yellow legged mud dauber wasp, scientific name sceliphron caementarium.

[onehelluvacircus]

Name: Grasshopper

Nickname(s): Robo Fizz, Mammon's arm candy

Gender: Demifluid

Pronouns: Any except she/her

Species: Robotic jester (technically hellborn)

Orientation: Grayromantic demisexual

Height: 4'7"

Appearance: Grasshopper is a Mammon-customized Robo Fizz, and it shows in both their and Shots' design. Where typical versions of the robotic jester line have stripes, their hat is split into jagged sections mimicking Mammon's color scheme with one tail being a minty sort of green and the other being lime green. The tails of their jester hat end in bells decorated with dollar signs. They also lack the usual ruffles, instead wearing only the black collar with small bells attached to it. Their outfit is also less flamboyant, resembling a lime green dress or robe with one sleeve being black and the other sleeve having black and lime stripes. Their eyes are pale blue.

Personality: Between the two siblings, Grasshopper was always the one who was a little better at pretending to be nothing more than a robotic doll: nodding along to everything Mammon said, smiling through any abuse they suffered, and of course hanging off of the sin when it was required of them. After Shots went missing, Grasshopper agonized over their twin's disappearance for ages before finally summoning up the willpower to go looking for him. Grasshopper is very passive normally, so it takes a lot of convincing to get them to do something. Grasshopper is more talkative than Shots, though admittedly that's probably not saying much since their sibling doesn't like talking very much to begin with. Like Shots, they are not very fond of being the center of attention but can handle it a bit better since they're more of an ambivert than an introvert. Conversely, they are not good at dancing and often wind up tripping over their own feet. They do enjoy painting, however, having picked it up as a way to express themself after leaving Mammon.

@ninecat​ submitted: Hello! I recently discovered you and really enjoy the informative and positive content. Here are some bugs I’ve hoarded photos of over the years! Knew I saved these photos for some reason after all, haha.

First is this guy I noticed in Puerto Rico. He or she was bigger than a quarter! Very impressive.

These two were in Virginia! The grasshopper (?) was at Shenandoah National Park and the Monarch (?) somewhere around mid-northern VA. It was a hot day so we tried to provide water on the spoon. Not sure if that helped or was a good idea. 😅

Last was this hitchhiker in North Dakota! Our friend here did not like me removing them from the car and left a present on my hand. I forgive them though XD.

All in all feel free to ID, but mostly I wanted to share my bugs! I admit though, I -am- curious about the Puerto Rico beetle (?) especially, if it’s not too much trouble. Either way thank you! Love this blog. :)

Hi! I’m glad you hoarded your old bug photos so we can all enjoy them. I’m assuming the first beetle is some type of scarab, but I’d need a clearer photo to tell you which.

The green leggy fellow is not a grasshopper but a katydid! The butterfly is a tiger swallowtail rather than a monarch. Offering a nectar-drinking bug plain water or putting them on/near a flower if they seem weak is fine, but if they’re moving normally I wouldn’t bother!

The last fellow is a two-striped grasshopper :)

Two-Striped Jumper (Telamonia dimidiata)

Distribution: Found in tropical and subtropical regions of South Asia; in Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, India, Bhutan, Malaysia and Sumatra.

Habitat: Found in foliage in wooded environments, resting on the underside of leaves in bushes and trees. Also found in paddy crop fields and vegetable gardens.

Diet: Insectivorous, active predators; the two-striped jumper has a varied diet which consists of small insects such as moths, flies, beetles, grasshoppers and other spiders. It's also opportunistic, so it may also scavenge for dead insects or feed on alternative food sources such as fruits or nectar.

Description: Two-striped jumpers are jumping spiders. Males and females look very different, with males being slightly smaller and darker in color, contrasted with bright white markings; females are a light yellow color with two bright red stripes, a white head and red and black rings surrounding the eyes. These jumpers are active predators, consuming up to dozens of prey a night before returning to their silk shelter to rest. In order to better benefit from their great vision, two-striped jumpers are diurnal.

This spider has been the subject of an internet hoax since 1999, with emails circulating featuring pictures of it and claiming that it was the fictitious American blush spider, Arachnius gluteus (which literally means butt spider). These emails claimed that it was a deadly species which made its home beneath toilet seats in North Florida. Not to worry, though; the two-striped jumper is harmless to humans, and is even becoming a rather popular pet in spider-keeping spheres!

Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!

The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down.

The bee movie made me think of incest because of the line “Those ladies? Aren’t they are cousins too?”
