Wings gotta dry out yet. Do they do that? 147BOAS 08-11-2009, 11:17 PM i dont know but it is a cool picture JOHNS6068 08-11-2009, 11:20 PM Cool shot Jeff Christ Jeff, what is that????????? :wamma: Looks like a grasshopper that's possibly just molted.

I think your right Quig :cheers: Quig 08-11-2009, 11:22 PM Cool shot Jeff I think your right Quig :cheers: I wasn't aware grasshoppers molted in their life times, but that's certainly what that looks like. I'm sure it wasn't born that size. JOHNS6068 08-11-2009, 11:28 PM I wasn't aware grasshoppers molted in their life times, but that's certainly what that looks like. I'm sure it wasn't born that size. Here is their life cycle.... http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp184/JOHNS6068/grasshopper.jpg JChandler 08-12-2009, 06:52 AM Wow a grasshopper with moth wings....crazy stuff.... That is really cool! Quig 08-12-2009, 11:41 AM That's the other thing that throws me. There's no outter wing covers. Did you stick around to see what it looked like once the wings dried out? Southern Wolf 08-12-2009, 06:18 PM very cool find Sputnik 08-12-2009, 06:22 PM Yup, they molt... I used to breed a type of plague like grass hopper when I had ackies and Storri monitors, it's pretty cool to see em molt. Nice shot! JChandler 08-12-2009, 06:58 PM No I didn't stick around, found it right before my lunch was up and had to hit the road so I only got to sit and watch it move them around a bit...it was almost like they weren't used to having them... Pretty interesting...:cheers: |
