I wanted to share the grasshopper only, did’t record full plant profile.

The grasshopper is a nymph meaning not fully grown. Very clear photo. Any more on rice please post as I work on rice insects

Found these critters today, but do not know if the caterpillar has anything to do with paddy leaves.

Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Juncaceae Week: Poaceae- Oryza sativa L var Indica from Hyderabad–CS1 : 4 images. 5 posts by 3 authors.
I wanted to start this week with the crop I work on, a crop that feeds billions
Scientific name: Oryza sativa L. var indica
Common name: Rice
Family: Poacaeae
Oryza sativa indica is the cultivated rice grown In India.
Rice has known to be cultivated since 10000 BC. The International Rice Genebank – the world’s largest collection of rice diversity – contains more than 112,000 different types of rice including species of wild rice, the ancestors of rice, traditional and heirloom varieties, and modern varieties. In India Chhattisgarh is known for rice diversity and considered as one of the secondary centres of diversity with a collection of 18541 accessions.

I love the diversity of this crop. WE have red, yellow, brown, black grains with and without aroma

Thanks … for the inauguaration. It is very important for us to know that the major food crops belong to Poaceae. Kindly throw light on other cultivated rice species and its taxonomy. For. eg, difference between the awned basmati rice, red and black grained rice, etc. Does the modern taxonomists consider O.glaberrima, O.nivara, etc. as species different from O.sativa? And would also like to know about the taxonomic status of introduced species like O.breviligulata, O.brachyantha, O.grandiglumis, O.latifolia, O.australiensis and the multigrained rice O.plena. Also would like to know more about O.jeyporensis.
