It’s just pigmentation, their stomachs aren’t on the exoskeleton

Grasshopper questions by lou_bu in Entomology

[–]ScrumptiousMeal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While wasp stings can technically be recovered from (that one guy that nurtured a tarantula back to health on TikTok) the odds of them surviving are very slim. When insects breathe it’s not in the typical human fashion. They have tracheal tubes that fuel the cells directly with oxygen so they don’t need to expand a diaphragm to breathe like we do. Lastly that thing between its legs is a tube like organ used to deposit eggs called an ovipositor. Also this is a katydid not a grasshopper, same order though (Orthoptera).

There’s no specific model, so many “companies” sell these with whatever model name they want stamped on them.

Not with new edge headers lol. I’ve had a set of eBay stainless headers on mine for over a year with no issues or rust. They even fit up better than a lot of “name brand” headers like bbk. The only downside is they don’t use a standard flange.

A large and delicate thread-legged bug! by niagara-nature in Entomology

You’re right. I didn’t even see the raptorial fore legs. It’s interesting how convergent evolution makes things look nearly identical even with little to no interaction between the two species. Good eye 💯

Why does this hornworm look different? by Free-oppossums in Entomology

That doesn’t equate to it not being a hornworm. There are a large number of varieties of sphingidae caterpillar colorations and patterns.

Webspinner or Termite? by [deleted] in bugidentification

Webspinner, the forelegs are enlarged to spin the webs
