Because I want the beetle book descriptions updated, I’m going to fixate and make a description for all the bugs missing them, and I love to research bugs

*Acanthacris ruficornis*
Acanthacris ruficornis, commonly known as the Garden Locust, is a species of short-horned grasshopper belonging to the family Acrididae, which is a part of the Orthoptera order. These grasshoppers are primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa and are known for their distinctive appearance and behavior.

The Garden Locust is known for its striking coloration, with shades of green and brown, allowing it to camouflage effectively in its natural habitat. They are herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plants and crops.

The species is notorious for its swarming behavior, which can cause significant damage to crops and vegetation when populations explode under favorable environmental conditions. This behavior has made them a significant concern for agricultural communities in the regions where they are found.

Despite their sometimes problematic interactions with humans, Garden Locusts also play important ecological roles in their ecosystems. They serve as both prey for various predators and as herbivores that influence plant communities through their feeding behavior.
