Abstract:
In this work consists in the development of a software allowing to identify some species of
grasshoppers insects based on the identification key of L. CHOPARD. The software "ORTHOPTERISTE"
accurately identifies a multitude of these insects (198 species spread over 19 families and 85 genders) belonging
to two suborders ENSIFERA (49%) and CAELIFERA (51%). With its interactive graphical interface, guiding
the user, step-by-step, the software starts by identifying the sub-order then the super-family then the family and
gender, finally arriving to identify and precise the studied specie. Identification is based on etymological,
morphological and physiological differences between the said insects.
