Note 7 — Chapter XI · THE WHITE-FACED DECTICUS: HIS HABITS
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
The Green Grasshopper behaves similarly. A couple isolated in a cage are subjected to a special watch. I am present at the end of the pairing, when the future mother is carrying, fixed to the point of her sword, the pretty raspberry which will occupy our attention later.7 Debilitated by recent happenings, the male at this moment is mute. Next day, his strength returns; and you hear him singing as ardently as ever. He stridulates while the mother is scattering her eggs over the ground; he goes on making a noise long after the laying is done and when nothing more is wanted to perpetuate the race.
