Lubber Grasshopper

Taeniopoda varipennis

Description:

I have been watching these grasshoppers grow for about a month. They are now all about 3" long and I expect that they will grow another inch or so. They have been feeding on anything they can!

Habitat:

Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica 9 weeks into the rainy season.
