Suicidal Grasshoppers

Recommended Posts

This is crazy!! Just the other day my boy and I were in the yard catching grasshoppers and he kept a few in a plastic bowl. One of the hoppers suddenly died and out of its head came a larve of some sort. I knew I should have taken pics. The larve was white in color and had a few black spots on it (about the size of a maggot). The next day it was gone. I think it burrowed its way into the other hopper in the bowl. I am waiting to find out what it looks like when it emerges again. I think we have a parasite wasp in the area but have never seen this. If you know, let me know.
