Hello Hiveans ... Meeting me again, in this very simple blog
His name is stone grasshopper, of course his name refers to his character that resembles a stone object, and I think it fits his character very well. Even if they are matched with other objects, they don't find the same results, then I think the person who first mentioned it as a stone grasshopper had tried to find other objects but in the end they couldn't find it and the stone matched its character
What do you think, about it? Of course, and I think similar and agree with the first person to mention it.
If you ask me, there will be another name for this one species, or call it in scientific language, then I answer, "Unknown" Why?
The main reason is, lack of understanding about them in detail, apart from that I am not an insect expert in biology, I am just a nature lover and what I like most is every insect species, so it can be said that I am an insect-lovers, not an insect expert.
Becoming an insect expert became a personal goal but was not achieved, because the school in other sciences was not majoring in biology.
Admiring all their characters is a hobby, maybe by examining each character you can get some information in the insect world, like trying to understand one of these insect species. So it's very exciting in that respect. Why? Because getting all the information in the environment itself and makes me rich in insight.
The name of this stone locust, has nationalized our area, maybe in your area also mention the same name as in our area. Assuming a rock object does not mean it dominates a rocky area or habitat, but refers to a pattern on its body. Seen in every curve of his outer body (zahir) resembling a stone character, maybe if he was in a rocky area he could disguise his body like and resemble a rock pattern.
I think he is capable of doing that, meaning that he is able to camouflage with objects that resemble the pattern of his outer body. Just look at the physical evidence in the picture above, of course you can hardly tell the difference between it and the dried leaves, coincidentally, its body color resembles the color of leaves with a distinctive brownish color. Well, here it can be ascertained with a correct assumption that the stone grasshopper itself is able to disguise its body with objects that have a similar color.
If it is said to be able to disguise itself with objects that have the same color, then what about a different color? Of course he couldn't do that, because this species of grasshopper doesn't have a variable discoloration pattern on its outer shell, it has a brownish tint with black spots, and it doesn't have a lot of color.
This Stone Grasshopper, has a distinctive color or brownish color or also looks gray equipped with black spots, looks like les and a mixture of whitish colors, dominates every part of the outer body. This can be seen from :
However, when he is in an object that is opposite to his body color, his presence is very clear, then the gray or brown color is accompanied by black colors and a mixture of white is very real and looks bright and clear in every curve.
Perhaps if they had a substance stored in their outer shell resembling or conforming to the body of a true camouflage animal or something, then they would look better than the rest.
However, there is one weakness against them, whose characters are much different from leaf locusts or rice stripes, why? Because he often dwells in every leaf or rock, he also dwells in every manure, whether oxen or other domestic animals.
It has a very mini size, or about 2.5 cm, and that size is an adult species often encountered in every encounter with it, personally have never seen a larger size than that. This difference is also a strong basis for a difference with other orders, including the green grasshopper.
Then he also does not have a large number in one dominant habitat, either in a general nest or in a special nest, generally when met with a small number or more or less 20-26 tails, and that number includes a lot, although sometimes the estimate is based on the size of a nest point, meaning that the wider the choice of habitat, the greater the number in the population.
Not aggressive or always silent from every stop, he is said to be a tame animal, easy to catch or trap, this very slow behavior, is often taken advantage of by every chirping bird or every bird of prey. So it's no wonder why he always stays and hides behind the lush leaves, this is with the assumption of protecting his body from every attack by predators (insect lovers).
Even bird lovers or chirping bird breeders often catch them, this makes them even more slumped in every nest, because it becomes food for every pet bird. Its existence can also be said to be decreasing, if the population of chirping birds (livestock) is increasing, the more food is needed, meaning that the more the body of stone grasshoppers needs, and the more wild catching in a habitat.
However, until now, their existence is not a concern because they are not included in protected animals, even their presence is considered a pest to plants. However, it is appropriate to say that their presence in an insect environment becomes an ecosystem provider for green land.
Being part of the diet of every insect-eating bird, is a fate that can't be avoided and has even become part of its nature, as a provider of food for certain animals.
As animals that live in the wild, it is their destiny to eat and be eaten, both in their respective environments and in their respective settings. It is not impossible for each group to hunt the same group. That is a wild habitat, being a provider of food in every space of the ecosystem.
The Stone Grasshopper, that's your name, as a provider and supplier as well as a leaf destroyer, that's a life that needs each other.
