Poisin grasshopper?

Question

there,s theese wierd spider things with only six legs next no bag worms in a tree my friend said there somekind of poisin grasshopper but they don't even hop they have red stripes on there back what are they

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any poisonous grasshoppers.  They eat 'em in a lot of countries.  Maybe your friend is teasing you.

This is purely a guess on the other weird spider thing; it sounds like an insect (six legs) and it COULD be a box elder bug.  They're very common at certain times of the year.  If that's not it, and you have more information, get back to us.  Good luck.  http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/...

Answer 2

Could you give some additional detail?  Like what color, shape etc.....and by the way, what does this phrase mean, that you wrote:  with only six legs next no bag worms in a tree my freind....

Does your insect look like this:

if it does, then it is a red and black striped longhorn
