Influence of antennas length on social status in grasshoppers

Community and Forum → Insects biology and faunistics → Influence of antennas length on social status in grasshoppers

I accidentally came across an article on the Net about "grasshoppers", where it was said about the influence of the length of the mustache on the social status of grasshoppers. The article is a little more than a complete shit translation from English.
I would like to hear a comment on this from experts, and if there is a link to read

The legs probably grow from here.

I think that there are also earlier sources. I once found such a popular science and naturalistic text on the Web: Vladimir Polzikov. http://books.google.ru/books?id=PelhAAAAQB...8%D0%B9&f=false

There the same thing is described for Tettigonia cantans. In principle, I would treat this source with caution. The author is clearly not an expert on erect-winged birds: he, for example, took for the short-winged jump another species, the green jump (Bicolorana roeselii). This circumstance, however, does not exclude the possibility that he actually observed an "antenna hierarchy" in the song grasshopper.
