My grasshopper cannibalism pic got buried by the Jacque Derrida guitar grunge feast. Normally I would just let that pass. But then today I caught two grasshoppers in the act. That's correct: F******. And the female grasshopper, while allowing the smaller male to copulate in the usually on-the-back position, was feasting on the carcass of another grasshopper. Sex and Cannibalism at the same time! By the way, the grasshoppers just die after the whole DNA exchange, egg laying etc. I ran to get my camera and holy ****, the battery was dead. So no photo for me to post. Another great science moment goes unrecorded. What a disaster.
While we are at the subject of grasshoppers enjoy ancient Greek cultural elements one more time lol (right side of the coin);
