Cyrtacanthacris aeruginosa or simply, green tree locust,[1][2][3] is a large species of grasshopper that can be found in the grasslands[4] of Africa. They pertain to the genus Cyrtacanthacris and are composed by three subspecies, C. a. aeruginosa, C. a. flavescens and C. a. goldingi, all three of them are monophyletic.[5] The specie is univoltine, that is, it only produces one brood of offspring per year, furthermore it also experiences egg diapause, meaning that the eggs have a phase of suspended or arrested growth.[4] In terms of overwintering strategy, Aeruginosa adults mate and then the female lay the eggs and die before the dry season, the eggs stay in diapause for 7 months[4] and take 45–67 days to incubate.[6]
