The objectives of this study were to identify and quantitate FAs present in the grasshopper species Chorthippus brunneus and Chorthippus biguttulus (both from the Acrididae family, Chorthippus genus), as well as the bush cricket Tettigonia viridissima (Tettigoniidae family).
Effet de deux entomopathogenes, Beauveria bassiana et Metarhizium flavoviride (Hyphomycetes, Deuteromycotina) sur l'hemogramme des larves de 5eme stade et des adultes de Locusta migratoria (Orthoptera : Acrididae).
In Acrididae (Orthoptera), different diets are related with different mandible configuration primarily reflected in progressive fusion and flattening of teeth into grinding plates (Patterson 1984), as observed for Ac.
The term "locust" refers to any one of several species in the grasshopper family Acrididae that, when their population reaches a certain tipping point within a certain area, will suddenly abandon a solitary lifestyle and become what scientists refer to as "gregarious," which is a polite term for "ravenous swarm of rapidly breeding insects that gobbles up crops for miles around." The insects have adapated this swarming strategy to cope with strained resources caused by their population explosion.
