     EGYPTIAN GRASSHOPPER Anacridium aegyptium (SHED SKIN POST-ECDYSIS)

• These large and rather handsome locusts were photographed in Mediterranean France. The eye-stripes and the number of creases in the pronotum are useful identifiers as similar species like Migratory Locusts may be found in this area. The insect in the middle photograph is just about to shed its final skin and the third picture shows an intact skin from another individual following ecdysis. It is probable that most of these shed skins will be eaten after this process as they contain useful nutrients.
