Orthoptera: Grasshoppers, Crickets, Katydids - Order Spotlight

HOP in to the order Orthoptera (I know that was bad please don't come for me) and learn why you shouldn't JUMP to conclusions with this diverse order (I'm so sorry). 🦗

Learn what they are, how to identify them, why they're so important, how to conserve them, and why you should eat them 😋

Also! I forgot to include it in the video but for anyone wondering, "Orthoptera" comes from the root words "Orthos" meaning "Straight" and "Ptera" meaning "Wing". So "Orthoptera" means "Straight-winged", referring to their straight and stiff wings that lie parallel to their body. The more you know! 🦗
