Cannibalistic grasshoppers, which are rarely seen in places above 1000 altitude in nature, feed on grass as well as eating the male to make the egg better quality, were recorded in the extinct volcanic Karacadag at an altitude of 1957, located within the borders of Diyarbakir, Sanliurfa and Mardin of Turkiye in 2020. Cannibal grasshoppers cannot spread over a large area because they are wingless. (Photo by Bestami Bodruk/Anadolu via Getty Images)
