Betiscoides
''Betiscoides'' is a small genus of southern African grasshoppers in the family Lentulidae. The grasshoppers of the genus ''Betiscoides'' have slender or very slender bodies and they are flightless, lacking wings. They have a conical head and the antennae are tapering. They are all found among the reed-like wetland plants of the genus ''Restio'' and their common name is the restio grasshoppers. All three species are classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

Grasshopper
Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is possibly the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which allow them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. As hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis; they hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage. The grasshopper hears through the tympanal organ which can be found in the first segment of the abdomen attached to the thorax; while its sense of vision is in the compound eyes, the change in light intensity is perceived in the simple eyes (ocelli). At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change color and behavior and form swarms. Under ...
