Rice Grasshopper

Description:

Pseudoxya diminuta Walker, 1871. This was my first spotting of P. diminuta nymphs, back in 2016 and just like my other spottings https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/89... & https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31... they displayed this social behaviour of keeping together in congregations.

Habitat:

These Rice Grasshopper Nymphs were spotted in our backyard on a St. Vincent's Plum Tree (Gliricidia sepium) locally called Kakawati. Plant identification - http://www.stuartxchange.org/Kakawati
