Photos of Grasshoppers Defecating.

August 9, 2016 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

~ These photos were taken in April, 2016. I’m sharing more insect observations from my photo archives ~

I know what you thought when you woke up this morning. You decided that what you really needed was to see photographs of a common garden insect doing a poo.

Alas, the first photo isn’t of that nature. The rest are. You’re welcome.

P.S In this situation, the poop from insects is called frass. I never knew that an animal could mate and defecate at the same time, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
