MACROVIDEO: Ephippiger mating
Ғылым және технология
Ephippiger (bush crickets) are very common on the French Riviera and often can be found mating on low grass. Once the spermatophore (package of sperm) has been transferred by the male, the female carries it for a while then consumes it, presumably for energy prior to laying her eggs
The female is recognizable at its long saber-shaped oviscapt used for laying eggs
