DFO’s Critters: Hop-Along Hopper

A 4-day-old eastern lubber grasshopper hops a ride on the head of one of its older siblings at Brookfield Zoo’s Swamp exhibit in Brookfield, Ill. The species, which is native to the south-central portion of the United States, turns a brilliant green and orange when it reaches adulthood. These and other creepy-crawlies, along with larger-than-life animatronics, will be featured at Xtreme Bugs, a temporary summer-long exhibit opening at Brookfield Zoo on May 19 and running through Sept. 7.
