The Life of the Grasshopper

Note 1 — Chapter XI · THE WHITE-FACED DECTICUS: HIS HABITS

Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation

This time I find the real diet, the fundamental if not the exclusive one. Some good-sized Locusts are let into the cage. I put in it the species mentioned in a note below,1 now one, now the other, as they happen to get caught in my net. A few Grasshoppers2 are also accepted, but not so readily. There is every reason to think that, if I had had the luck to capture them, the entire Locust and Grasshopper family would have met the same fate, provided that they were not too insignificant in size.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
