Field Notes

Description:

These two grasshoppers appear to be nymphs, because although they look very robust and heavily built, they only have small stubs of wings which are just starting to grow. I can't give much of a description, other than what can be seen in the photos. They are very dark brown (or black, depending on the angle of the light), but the pictures show just a glimpse of white markings on the inside surfaces of the rear femora and maybe also on the tibiae.

Habitat:

These Short-horned Grasshoppers were spotted in foliage growing wild in a rice field, just a few days before it was ploughed for the new planting season.
