Odd! What's new in the field, corn leaves are like being "acupunctured" and growing rows of "small bean sprouts", what is the matter? #New Farmer Creation Contest#

A novel phenomenon found in the cornfield a few days ago, as shown in Figure 1/Figure 2, the corn leaves seem to be regular and neatly arranged with some needle-like things, and the stalk is topped with oval things, like "small bean sprouts", and like who gives corn leaves "acupuncture". When I found it, I felt novel, I felt that it was the eggs of insects, but I didn't know what kind of insects it was. Through these days of reading information and consultation, it is determined that this is the egg of the grasshopper. #Agricultural Technology Science Contest Season 2#

Grasshoppers are fully metamorphosed insects with four different forms of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults throughout their lives. Grasshopper eggs are oval in shape, mostly green or grass-green at first, and then slowly become transparent and colorless. Grasshoppers secrete mucus on the surface of the blades of grass when they lay their eggs, and pull out a long, thin stalk that attaches to the leaves and bark of the branches, and the long stalks do not overlap each other.

The reason why grasshoppers jump their eggs high and hang them in the air is to avoid their natural enemies, like ants will eat its eggs.

In addition to laying eggs on the branches and leaves of grass and trees, grasshoppers also lay eggs on car doors, window glass, wood, and aluminum alloy window frames. Grasshoppers can prey on a variety of pests and are a beneficial insect. It can prey on smaller pests, such as aphids, and grasshoppers generally lay their eggs in places where there are many aphids, ensuring that grasshoppers have sufficient food sources after they mature. #三农小分队 #
