Angular-winged Pygmy Grasshopper
A small, dark pygmy grasshopper found across East Asia. It is one of the most studied tetrigids in Japanese orthopteran research.
Did You Know?
Japanese researchers have documented color polymorphism in this species with over a dozen distinct color morphs in a single population.
Grannom Caddisfly
A small dark caddisfly that produces massive spring hatches on European rivers. Larvae build distinctive square-sectioned cases from silk and plant fibers.
