đ¨ ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY đ¨
Silent slant-faced grasshoppers comprise a large subfamily of insects with characteristic slanted faces. As their name suggests, this group of grasshoppers lacks the pegs on their hind legs that make clicking sounds. Visually, silent slant-faced grasshoppers look more like stick insects than typical grasshoppers.
The female slant-faced grasshopper measures 1.41â to 2.08â (36 â 53 mm), and the male measures 1â to 1.50â (25 â 38 mm).
Identifying silent slant-faced grasshoppers is straightforward because their appearance is so unique. For example, their forewings have angled tips rather than characteristic rounded or pointed tips. Also, their heads are not at a vertical angle seen in other species of grasshoppers.
