Zonocerus elegans is a species of gaudy grasshopper in the family Pyrgomorphidae. [1] [2]
These subspecies belong to the species Zonocerus elegans:
Trachemys is a genus of turtles belonging to the family Emydidae. Members of this genus are native to the Americas, ranging from the Midwestern United States south to northern Argentina, but one subspecies, the red-eared slider, has been introduced worldwide. Species under this genus are commonly referred to as sliders.
Conocephalus is a genus of bush crickets, known as coneheads. It was described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1815.
Thunbergia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, native to tropical regions of Africa, Madagascar and southern Asia. Thunbergia species are vigorous annual or perennial vines and shrubs growing to 2–8 m tall. The generic name honours the Swedish naturalist Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828).
Meloe is a genus of blister beetles commonly referred to as oil beetles. The name derives from their defensive strategy: when threatened by collectors or predators they release oily droplets of hemolymph from their joints. This fluid is bright orange and contains cantharidin, a poisonous chemical compound. Wiping the chemical on skin can cause blistering and painful swelling of the skin. This defensive strategy is not exclusive to this genus; all meloids possess and exude cantharidin upon threat.
Rivetina is a genus of praying mantises in the family Rivetinidae.
Acrida is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. The genus contains around 40 species which are found in Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, Hawaii, and Australia. Insects of this genus are omnivorous and a well-known pest of many agricultural crops.
Catantops is a genus of grasshoppers in the tribe Catantopini and is typical of the subfamily Catantopinae. Species can be found in Africa, including Madagascar and subcontinental India.
The Phyllophorinae is a subfamily of the bush crickets or katydids, found in east Malesia to Australia.
Zonocerus is a genus of grasshoppers (Caelifera) in the family Pyrgomorphidae and the tribe Phymateini. The two species are found in Africa, with Z. elegans found in central, eastern and southern regions, including Madagascar, and Z. variegatus found in western regions. Both species are significant agricultural pests, especially for African smallholder farmers. Both adults and nymphs have relatively bright, aposematic colours, and adults typically are about 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) long.
Zonocerus variegatus, the painted grasshopper or variegated grasshopper, is a species of insect belonging to the family Pyrgomorphidae. It is native to tropical Africa, and is considered a crop pest in much of Western and Central Africa.
Coscineuta is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about eight described species in Coscineuta, found in the Neotropics and South America.
Morphacris is a genus of band-winged grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least two described species in Morphacris, found in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
Gastrimargus marmoratus is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in southern Africa, Indomalaya, and eastern Asia.
Oxya chinensis is a species of short-horned grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in south and eastern Asia, and Oceania.
Oxya japonica, also known as the Japanese grasshopper or rice grasshopper, is a species of short-horned grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Indomalaya and eastern Asia.
Paracinema tricolor is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
Stenocatantops splendens is a species of short-horned grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Indomalaya and eastern Asia.
Trilophidia annulata is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Asia.
Morphacris fasciata is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
Oedaleus abruptus is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Indomalaya and eastern Asia.
