Eastern lubber grasshopper
吃了有毒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
怎样认出它
- 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
毒力
只有被什么东西吃掉时才有害。
它对人有多危险？
对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。它害怕时会做什么？
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
如果有人碰了或吃了它
注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
- 如果你碰了或吃了它：不要揉眼睛或嘴巴，洗手并就医。
它不是冲着你来的。它的毒只是为了不被吃掉。 更多安全知识

事实
Most predatory birds and mammals avoid it because of its toxicity, but large predatory insects can still catch and kill adults.1
It is one of the largest grasshoppers in the United States, along with the western horse lubber grasshopper.1
Its wings are too small for flight in most adults, so it relies on its colours and defences instead.1
Adults in the black colour form are widely known as 'diablo' or 'black diablo'.1
In Louisiana it is called the 'devil's horse' or 'cheval-diable', and in Mississippi it is known as the 'giant locust'.1
谣言粉碎机
谣言： Its bright colours are just for decoration.
真相： The colours are a warning to predators that the grasshopper tastes unpleasant.1
