The Eastern lubber grasshopper is one of the largest grasshoppers in the United States, with bright, easy-to-spot colours. It lives in the southeastern and south-central United States, including all of Florida. It is poisonous rather than venomous: it does not bite or sting, but it can harm animals that eat it.1

  • Nymphs are smaller than adults, wingless and completely black, with one or more yellow, orange or red stripes.1
  • Adults are dull yellow with black spots and markings, bright orange with black markings, or entirely black with yellow or red striping.1
  • Adult wings are usually much shorter than the body and cannot be used for flight.1
  • Adult males are typically 4.3–5.5 cm long and females 5–7 cm long, making them very large for a grasshopper.1

When disturbed, it shows its bright colours as a warning, releases a dark, foul-smelling and foul-tasting foamy liquid from its thorax, and gives off a loud hiss to scare would-be attackers.1

Dintlha

1

Most predatory birds and mammals avoid it because of its toxicity, but large predatory insects can still catch and kill adults.1

2

It is one of the largest grasshoppers in the United States, along with the western horse lubber grasshopper.1

3

Its wings are too small for flight in most adults, so it relies on its colours and defences instead.1

4

Adults in the black colour form are widely known as 'diablo' or 'black diablo'.1

5

In Louisiana it is called the 'devil's horse' or 'cheval-diable', and in Mississippi it is known as the 'giant locust'.1

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: Its bright colours are just for decoration.

Nnete: The colours are a warning to predators that the grasshopper tastes unpleasant.1
