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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis little 1\" nymph pin is life-sized and ultra-wearable.
