Insect Macrophotography | Grasshoppers (Acrididae)

---

The Acrididae are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts (swarming grasshoppers) are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment.

I found this grasshopper in the Meurah Mulia area, North Aceh, Indonesia in the morning before noon. If you want to find this type of grasshopper, you can look for them in open areas, or land with lots of grass and on the edges of rice fields. Because in essence, grasshoppers will not escape from the grass. Because it is the food.

And if you want to see the grasshopper that I got yesterday, I've uploaded the photo below. Hope you are interested and like it :)
