onenicebugperday: African bladderhopper, Bullacris membracioides, Pneumoridae, AcridideaFound in southern Africa, bladderhoppers are a type of grasshopper. In their final molt, males acquire a hollow, inflated abdomen which is used for sound amplification. Their calls can be heard by potential mates up to 2 kilometres away. Females reply to male calls with their own sound, which is much higher pitched and sometimes not even audible to human ears.Female Bullacris sp.:Photos 1-4 by suncana, 5 by peters5001, 6-7 by alexanderr, and 8 by muonmo -- source link
