The grasshoppers and wasp-mimicking katydid from Central America are active during day, while most of the crickets are active at night. The wasp-mimicking katydid is harmless insect. Even though it is named wasp, it does not look like a wasp. It lives sunny places in rainforests. When night comes, wasp-mimicking katydid does not move much or move slowly. (Because it has orange color body, it might be shown well at night.) | |||
The Orthoptera like to live themselves. There are exceptions. Sometimes the locusts or grasshoppers unite together as massive swarms. These kinds of swarms are disasters to farmers. | |||

The locus brings | The locus destroys everything on its way, and it brings lots of damage to crop field during harvest time. The locus appears with thundering sound and covers the sky. When the locus passes by crop field, everything is gone and nothing is left after the locus storm. Small swarm of locust eats food about 2500 people consumes food a day. Farmers try to prevent damages by the locus storm, but wiping out the locus is not easy work for them. [http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/IRIN/8cf2ca21d2d637760cbbc98f6e1e13d5.htm] | ||
One of examples by the swarms of locust was written in the Bible. Exodus 10:12-15 said, “''And the LORD said to Moses, 'Stretch out your hand over Egypt so that locusts will swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail.' So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the LORD made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts; they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again. They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.”'' | One of examples by the swarms of locust was written in the Bible.
