They tend to congregate together. As they age and molt, their colors change. Mature adults display an extraordinary variety of shades and patterns, with colors as bright as autumn foliage or almost solid black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name “lubber” comes from an old English word meaning “clumsy”. Indeed, this heavy, flightless grasshopper can barely hop. Instead, it has evolved incredible defenses: if threatened, it spreads its wings, hisses, and sprays toxins. Lubbers are so unpleasant and unpalatable that they have few predators, and spend most of their days simply eating as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adult male pin is life-sized at 2\" wide, with bright colors that pop on your board or your autumn jacket.
