Far from their native haunts and the tropical climate in which they thrive, a of lubber grasshoppers exhibited here yesterday afternoon by Prof. Wfillis DeRvke, head of the Department of Biology at Illinois College, attracted considers lie Thursday attention The live specimens wtrc Mr and Mrs to Prof. DoRyke by the General Biological Supply House of Chicago, and originally came from Central America. At first glance, the insects appear to be giant crickets, ior. unlike the grasshopperi native to this country they are entirely black in color However, closer examination reveals them to be very similar to the of this territory', except they are two or three times the size of the largest ones found here and have short, stubby wings.

The lubber grasshepjiers are iust what their rame stout, clumsy and nature has provided them with strong legs, particularly the jumping legs and powerful mandibles to ass'st them in appeasing their ravenous appetites. Their shiny black color Is broken by thin yellowish across the abdomen, a narrow yellow line down the back and lf'gs and across the The inner pair of ings. and oelicate-appearing. are of a dull scarlet color, fringed with black. The lubbers were not very active tccause of the climate here being much cooler than that of their native habitat, and probably wnll not live any length of time here.
