EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a locust with an appetite for trouble! This green milkweed locust is not your average herbivore - it's got a taste for mischief and young citrus trees. Don't let its innocent face fool you, this little critter can cause some serious damage! Living in the grassy areas of Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa, these locusts are known to be quite the social butterflies (or should I say grasshoppers?). They love hanging out together, especially during their nymphal stages. It's like one big insect party! But don't be fooled by their vibrant colors and striking appearance – they're not just trying to look pretty. These foam grasshoppers have evolved into aposematic insects with warning colors that scream "I'm poisonous!". Talk about being fashionably dangerous. Now take a closer look at this close-up shot captured by Alan Weaving. You can see every intricate detail of its mouthparts as it chows down on some tasty greens. And those eyes? They're definitely giving us a puzzled expression – maybe wondering why we find them ugly? So next time you spot one of these puzzle-faced creatures munching away in South Africa, remember to appreciate their unique beauty and give them plenty of space. . . unless you want your citrus trees to become their personal buffet!
