A team of six completed this week's survey under hot and sunny conditions. Locusts usually feed on a variety of plants, but the Spotted Bird Grasshoppers shown here stick with only one. Sporting aposematic coloration to advertise their toxicity to predators, these nymphs can currently be seen in the Butterfly Garden defoliating the Wafer Ash.
