控制花园里的蚱蜢
直翅目:Acrididae
蚱蜢的名字很容易误导人,因为它们不仅吃草,还吃很多阔叶植物的叶子. 蚱蜢和蝗虫是直翅目蝗科的近亲. 它们都有咀嚼口器,在叶子上留下独特的粗糙的洞和咀嚼的边缘.
在澳大利亚发现的蝗科蚂蚱和蝗虫有700多种, 但只有少数几种被认为是害虫.
Grasshopper and locust species are most likely to cause problems in gardens include the Wingless Grasshopper of south-eastern Australia and south-west Western Australia; the Plague Locust and Spur-Throated Locust of inland Australia; and the Giant Grasshopper of northern Australia.
