Some time ago I saw something I had never seen before on the outskirts of rice paddies in north aceh. I saw a male locust of Atractomorpha sp from the brown Pyrgomorphidae family. Actually this is not the first time I've seen these brown grasshoppers. A few days later I looked directly in front of my own house, I also saw this type of locust and had taken some pictures behind the house, is a surprise for me fad I have never seen it there even actually I never thought there was a type of Atractomorphasp beraliforms before I finally see myself in front of my house.

The grasshopper Atractomorpha sp brown I saw on the curb in front of my house.

What made me even more astonished was that the brown female Atrretomorpha spider was trying to marry a young malesome Atractomorpha sp young man who seemed to have originated from a different species, the Atractomorpha crenulata species, a species of grasshopper found in many backyards, in the grass,

The green locust of Atractomorpha crenulata females succeeded in marrying young males.

Since the brown male locust to be married by the green female locust is an immature young male (nymph), the male grasshopper is trying to resist the brown female locust by pulling and bending its belly down. Seeing a female locust trying to marry a young male is something I seldom see and this also raises my own question, what exactly attracts the female locusts to mate with the immature male locust.
