It belongs to the family of real grasshoppers, which includes more than 6400 species. Body length, according to the data found, up to 3.6 cm, although it seemed to me that he was longer) The tendrils are 4 times longer than the body. Inhabits warm places, prefers dry steppes and sand quarries, as well as gardens. Adults are found from August to October. It feeds on deciduous trees and shrubs, preferring young shoots, as well as berries and fruits.
They chirp very quietly and usually at night, you can hear the chirping at a distance of up to a meter. During the day there are grasses in the middle tier, and in the evening, especially males, climb to the tops of the tallest plants or on the leaves of young trees and shrubs. Thanks to this, I noticed him, just at the moment of his flight to the top of the tree. The development of the larva lasts 60 days, during which time it goes through six stages.
Nature is preparing for winter…
Trees are dropping foliage, insects are hiding for the winter, birds are flying to warmer lands. On the one hand, it seems that autumn is quite a sad time of year, because it often rains, the sun's heat goes away, but on the other hand, autumn gives us a lot of wonderful emotions, it is in sad and sad weather you can wrap yourself in a blanket and drink warm tea. , think of something…
And of course, without autumn we would not have these colors on the trees with an incredibly diverse palette of colors. That's why I love every time of the year, but I'm still looking forward to spring so that I can start photographing insects again.
