The armoured bush cricket or armored ground cricket is an insect native to the African bush across Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Because they make good a snack for many different predators, armored bush crickets possess a remarkable array of defensive measures. These strategies can be deployed selectively against different threats, or progressively against a single predator if any lone measure doesn't work to deter the attack. These crickets will eat each other when deprived of protein and salt in their diets; as other crickets are a good source of these nutrients. #insects #crickets #Africa
