Description
Belonging to the genus Chorthippus, these grasshoppers are known for their striking ability to produce sound, a trait pivotal in mating rituals. Contrary to common misconceptions, the sounds they emit are not vocal but are produced by rubbing their hind legs against their wings, a process known as stridulation. This skillful use of their body parts highlights a refined adaptation for communication in their natural habitats, dispelling any notions of these creatures being mere noisy insects.
