Biology:Kosciuscola

From HandWiki

Kosciuscola[1] is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Oxyinae (tribe Praxibulini).[2] They are found in Australia.[3][4]

While most grasshoppers are passive or use acoustic signals (chirping) to resolve disputes, Kosciuscola tristis is famous among entomologists for engaging in ubiquitous, escalated physical combat.[5]
