What does he need this blade for? (Decticus verrucivorus) This species of grasshopper lives in grassy areas, in living areas, clearings, wastelands and meadows. Ripe at the beginning at the beginning and even until October. This is a female of Decticus verrucivorus. The spike we see on the back is not, contrary to appearances, a sting, or another weapon for fighting, but the so-called terebra. The terebra is the reproductive organ of the female Decticus verrucivorus. When the female is fertilized, the fertilized eggs of the young insects mature in this ovipositor.

The other day I captured this kind of grasshopper on the wall of my house.I haven't posted yet so might share them next days.
Yes, it is a grateful object to photograph 😊
It looks like a sharp tail.
The ovipositor is the organ that lays eggs in the ground 🙂
Interesting
