What is this insect that just jumped there, right in front of your feet? A grasshopper? A cricket? How can we tell them apart? What do they eat? What are their predators and what dangers threaten them? From the arboreal acrobatics of the Southern Meconème to the «verbal jousts» of the Duettist Grasshopper through the impressive flight of the Great Green Grasshopper, come and spend an afternoon on the meadows of La Gîte to discover the fascinating world of orthoptera, popular insects with so little-known customs.
