Saw-backed Grouse Locust
An Australian pygmy grasshopper with a distinctly serrated or saw-toothed pronotal keel. It is found in moist forest floor habitats.
Did You Know?
Its serrated pronotum crest is unique among Australian tetrigids and gives it an almost reptilian appearance.
Bamboo Longhorn
A vivid metallic green longhorn beetle with a slender body and long antennae. It breeds exclusively in bamboo stems.
Did You Know?
It is so closely tied to bamboo that mass bamboo flowering and die-off events cause population booms followed by crashes.
