Grasshopper, any of a group of jumping insects (order Orthoptera) that are found in a variety of habitats. Grasshoppers occur in greatest numbers in lowland tropical forests, semiarid regions, and grasslands. They range in colour from green to olive or brown and may have yellow or red markings. Meadow grasshopper (Orchelimum) William E. Ferguson.

As all grasshoppers also do, the Eastern Lubber Grasshopper grows through successive stages after each molting, which are referred to as “nymphal instars”. A Nymph is the youngest of the species (a nymph is to a grasshopper as a baby is to a human). The Romalea guttata has a total of 5 of these stages before molting into an adult.

Abstract. The lubber grasshopper,Romalea guttata, is a generalist feeding on a broad diet of many herbaceous plant species and has a metathoracic defensive secretion normally containing phenolics and quinones synthesized by the insect.When insects were reared on a restricted diet of wild onion, they sequestered sulfur volatiles from the plant into their defensive secretions.

Atelocerata: Grasshopper: Romalea guttata Orthoptera, the insect order that includes the grasshopper, provides excellent specimens for studying many ancestral features of insects, such as mouthparts and the architecture of the tagmata that form the body. The Lubber grasshopper, Romalea guttata, is a large species and therefore an ideal hopper for lab observations.

Description: The Journal of Orthoptera Research covers the insect Order Orthoptera, and its relatives, the Blattodea, Mantodea, Phasmodea, and Grylloblatodea. Its goal is the dissemination of ideas and insights arising from the study of these insects and to improve the accessibility of the subject to new generations.

Graveyard Grasshoppers can grow up to a whopping three inches long. The adults have wings, but they are a non flying grasshopper. Young Romalea Guttata are black with a yellow, orange, or red stripe down their back. Adults can get up to three inches long and are black with more yellow, orange and red markings. The markings are more mottled than the single stripe that the young have. Wings on.
