Orthopterida

This female is depositing an egg into the stem of a turtle head plant.

Photographed on a pineapple sage plant in a small garden area near the house. Seems to be confusion as to whether this should be called a grasshopper or a locust. Perhaps an expert will clarify.

Tentative i.d.

Photographed on blue false indigo (Baptisia australis) plant.

Flightless animal collected from a migratory band that had walked about 20 km in about 3 weeks. Large numbers died trying to cross a local stream, and thousands more killed by burning, poisoning, and trenching by land owners. Tucura sapo toad-like locust. Tucura (Spanish) derived from Tupi-Guarani language (tu + cura = animal voracious). Three species of Bufonacris, all in southern South America. Only this species has mass migrations.
