Orphula azteca	29.Juli.2024	Lenang, Pantan Nangka, Kec. Linge, Kabupaten Aceh Tengah,Indonesia.

Orphula azteca or known as the prairie grasshopper, this grasshopper usually has a brown or green color with dark patterns on its wings and body, which helps them camouflage in the grassland environment, Sometimes They are often found in areas with low vegetation, especially in dry or semi-arid grasslands.

This grasshopper also has a life cycle that includes the egg stage and goes through several stages of development before reaching the adult form, which usually takes several weeks depending on environmental conditions.

When adults, they are generally active during the day and spend most of their time searching for food on plant leaves and stems.
Its presence can affect balance, especially in controlling certain plant populations. In addition, they also fall prey to various predators such as birds, reptiles and small mammals, making them an important component in natural food webs.

Friends of the Nature Observer community, observing grasshopper behavior and habitat provides valuable insight for conservation efforts and understanding grassland ecology. I hope these observations are useful.
