Well, one more try smile.gif
I found here a place where grasshoppers live, which with very high confidence can be white-fronted. Their difference from the widely spread gray ones:
* they sing in a different way, the singing is more sonorous and soft, from a distance it even seems that some bird is singing
* the color is completely different if you compare the expected gray and white-browed right on the spot.
* size, in the expected white-fronted females up to 7.5 cm with wings, the head is very massive, in gray usually approx. 5.5 cm with wings.

here is a picture in the "natural state", I caught one, but Plavilshchikov does not have his description, can anyone tell me the clear distinguishing features of white-browed and gray?

Yes, there is simply no one else to be: this is Decticus sp., because the median keel of the pronotum is expressed along the entire length.
And her lobeshnik is probably light smile.gif
By the way, in the picture it lays eggs.

No, sp. this is very vague, it is clear that it is decticus, but I would like to distinguish the characteristics of albifrons from verricivorus. And in the picture it seems like a male, eggs are definitely not laid because before shooting I drove him in a terrible way, he just sat down to catch his breath and I smile.giftook it off, I brought the female home.

Denticle on the cerci of the male in verrucivorus in the middle, in albifrons-at the root.
In females, the subgenital lamina of verrucivorus has a narrow, almost heart-shaped notch; in albifrons, it has a wide, smooth notch.

Well, it looks like this time I found, here in the picture on the right is a plate of a female caught earlier(http://molbiol.ru/forums/uploads/post-10116-1151835031.jpg)
and on the left is the plate of the female that is caught now. It looks like I've found a cluster of albifrons this time smile.gif

Guys, while we're talking, tell me, where can you see Decticus Albifrons, its northern distribution point in Russia and Ukraine?

Help me determine who is who? Do these specimens belong to the Grasshopper or Locust family? All photos were taken in Bulgaria.
Tell me, please, how to accurately visually distinguish a grasshopper from a locust? Is it true that grasshoppers always have long antennae, and locusts, on the contrary, have short ones? Is it possible to make an assumption about belonging to a particular family only on this basis?

Since the traffic from the skylink is too expensive for the current 2 picture, it looks like Ephippigera (Ephippigera)

08.08.2008 15:49, PVOzerski

The lower one looks like a Tettigonia larva, the upper one is a grasshopper from the Odonturini tribe (Poecilimon?). In general, all 3 are grasshoppers. Unlike locusts, grasshoppers have long, very mobile" cockroach " antennae, hearing organs on the front legs (a pair of slits or depressions on top of the lower leg near its junction with the thigh), females have a long ovipositor, and males have a chirping organ on the elytra.

Thank you so much for the clarification! jump.gif Now I'll know who I'm photographing.

Here are some more photos of representatives of the locust family, help determine what they are called correctly.

tell me, what is this Ephippiger on the back??? very interesting

09.08.2008 15:22, PVOzerski

On the back - an expanded part of the pronotum (the upper part of the first thoracic segment), elytra protrude from under it. All this works as a "musical instrument" with a resonator.

In the presented photos, everything is really locust smile.gif
4 - some Chorthippus, possibly Ch. macrocerus, female
5-Oedipoda sp.
6-Chorthippus parallelus, male
7-Dociostaurus brevicollis, female
8-Chorthippus parallelus, female

Good afternoon,

tell me the name of this grasshopper. I wonder why he wasn't afraid of hands at all. Thank you in advance.

Can you tell me if this locust has any signs of a herd? (I read that there are differences in the pronotum, it seems to be similar to the herd, but I'm not sure). It lived in a reed thicket in a cluster, with a plost of approx. 1-2 individuals per 1 square meter. Of course, this is not enough for the herd, but maybe there is a hearth there?

Is this a "Photoshop" experiment?

10.08.2008 23:34, PVOzerski

2 Double A: I would say that the female Chrysochraon dispar, only some kind of crumpled.

2 sealor: the coloration, however, is quite "gregarious"... And many such clusters?

I'm also confused, it's kind of strange...

11.08.2008 12:57, Guest

Of course, this is not the larva of a blue-winged filly, that is completely different-smile.gif). It looks like the larva of some herbaceous plant, judging by the shape of the pronotum. I have never seen such purple ones, but I have often met other larvae and imagos of ordinary locusts with unusual colors. I caught the same grasshoppers Stenobothrus fisheri or the white-banded filly Chorthippus albomarginatus of reddish or pink color. They often contained larvae of parasitic sarcophagid flies. I don't know, maybe the presence of a parasite affected the color.

11.08.2008 14:17, Guest

- ...This means that an atypical coloration of a "typical" representative is completely possible, due to some reasons, including parasitic ones...
- I understand that my statement "I saw it once in my life" is very relative...
- But maybe narrow specialists, if they get to this photo, will be able to explain something at least by the characteristic sculpture of the object?...
"I can only add that I ran this picture through Auto-Levels in Photoshop," and the color changed slightly to a pinkish-purple color. - And so, - it was just a DEEP blue color!

1) Pyrgodera armata
2) Dociostaurus or Notostaurus (you need to look at the head from above)
3) Calliptamus sp.

What kind of grasshopper? MO.
picture: IMG_5119.jpg

24.08.2008 16:59, зорк

help me determine if it's not based on photos.
I caught 4 locusts for food in the flax region (Sestroretsk)
-1
.Brown with beautiful wings.
2. Green with a long spike
3. Green with 3 spikes.
4. p. 2 with a yellow forehead.

24.08.2008 18:23, Vabrus

I hope this is a joke.

24.08.2008 18:38, Ilia Ustiantcev

In general, probably yes, but 1 can be tried if they say the color of the wings.

in 430, in p. 2 the same but with a different kind of eyes and a different belly.

This grasshopper flew to the light (August), which surprised me, so I caught it. I've never seen them before.

I found a grasshopper like this in my dacha (Southern Urals ,Kolya). It looks about 8 cm , almost the size of a raspberry leaf. And what is the maximum size they reach in Russia?

Is that tettigonia 8 centimeters!? eek.gif

26.08.2008 8:03, Guest

It's a pity I didn't put the ruler next to it,then I would have told you for sure. Follow the raspberry leaf. My whole family came to see it. The grasshopper sat lazily, did not resist when I photographed it and moved the branch a little. Yes, I can't imagine how such a filly can jump.

Tell me the correct name of these grasshoppers. There are two of them sitting there, but they are different. I assume that the large one with the ovipositor is a female (or is it not an ovipositor at all), and the second one is a male or a larva?? Help me figure it out confused.gif

A large female, and this is exactly the ovipositor. In my opinion, these are Ball-headed grasshoppers, or Fat ones - Bradyporidae, similar to Zichya sp. I had to catch their relatives, Deracantha onos, also on flowering plants (tartar). Apparently, this is their meeting placesmile.gif

and the second grasshopper, which is smaller, male or larva?

does this grasshopper also belong to the ballheads? they wrote to me above that it looks like an Ephippigera confused.gif

2mayatnick:
IMHO more like Ephippiger - although this genus is also from the Bradyporidae. 2nd - adult male.

2Illa Y:
Bicolorana roeselii (=Metrioptera roeselii) is one of our most common grasshoppers. If, of course, the material is collected to the west of the Urals.
