Vagrant Grasshopper

Body plus wing length = 6.5 cm. Per David Preston of the Bishop Museum “This looks like the Vagrant Grasshopper Schistocerca nitens (Thunberg) (Orthoptera: Acrididae). It’s been in Hawaii for more than 40 years. Although a large species it has not become a major pest. It can defoliate a small plant in one evening of feeding and can be a pest on some native Hawaiian species. Found throughout the Hawaiian Islands including many of the offshore islets.”

About 5 cm long.

Kaytdid nymph

This katydid nymph was found on a Basil plant. Body length is 4 mm. Specimen, obviously damaged during collection. Per Frank Howarth at the Bishop Museum this is “a very young nymph of a katydid (also known as the long-horn grasshoppers), family Tettigoniidae. The specimen is too broken to ID with certainty. It is certainly non-native as nymphs of our native katydids look different. It could be Conocephalus saltator(Saussure, 1859), but that’s a wild guess.”

A stick insect with a long, slender, brown body and multiple thin, stick-like legs and antennae, positioned on the edge of a blue plastic container with a clear lid, near a woven fabric surface.
