June 29, 2022

I am an Orange-Winged Grasshopper
I like to hang out in areas that are sandy
I can both crepitate and stridulate*
But in general my noisemaking is somewhat scanty.

* To quote the article linked below, "Sound production may occur on the ground (stridulation) or in flight (crepitation), but this is not a particularly noisy species."

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
