Abstract
Orthoptera are capable of threat of agriculture, human health and resists to all pesticides used. This problem is become an objectif of many research's. Pesticide resistance is the adaptation of insects to this materials resulting in decreased susceptibility to that chemical. In other hand, insects develop a resistance through natural selection such chemically transformation, physiological phenomena and genetic. In our study, natural chitin was extracted from cuticle of orthoptera insect (southern of Algeria) using a chemical strategy consists on hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide. The average yield of extracted chitin (96.95% w) indicates that the cuticles of orthoptera are a rich source of chitin. Cuticle exhibit a heterogeneous morphology characterized by a compact structure with well-defined fibrous. For extracted chitin and after demineralization, we can appreciate important changes in the surface of material. We observed round shaped black spots indicated that they are composed almost exclusively by K2O and CaO (cuticle) in the other hand we observed several white taches behind black spots, here we suggest that white taches present chitin extracted. The most resistant orthoptera are the ones to survive and transform their properties by chemical process such as transformation of chitin to chitosan and physiological development such as age. In this study, we have found that the first generation has a great resistance to insecticides. After insecticide application we observed a descendant's resistance decreased a larger because sensitive insects have been selectively killed. After repeated applications resistant insects may comprise the minority. Finally we can said, insecticide resistance can be found in many types and we can conclude that physiological resistance and chemical resistance coexist together and cannot separate. In the physiological resistance, the insect populations may develop the ability to avoid or reduce lethal insecticide exposure. In contrast, chemical resistance refers to modification mechanisms, including reduced cuticle penetration and decreased or increased target site sensitivity. The extracted chitin sample and chitosan were characterized by several characterizations such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy SEM, FTIR and 1HRMN spectroscopy.

2. Experimental Design, Materials, and Methods
2.1. Chemical and material
All reagents in this work were of analytical grade and used as received without further purification. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorhydric acid (HCl) were used as initiator from sigma Aldrich (French). The cuticle of orthoptera used in this work came from a quarry located in Naama (southern west of Algeria) [4].
2.2. Study site
2.2.1. Station of Mecheria
This station is located on the southern slopes of Jebel antar in north of the town of mecheria at (longitude 0° west and latitude 33° North). The vegetation covers in this station are (Stipa tenacissima, Peganum harmala and Aleppo pine) [5].
2.2.2. Station of ben ammar
It is located at forty kilometer (40 Km) north of the mecheria city at ( longitude 0° west and latitude 33° north), the vegetation species in this station are (Stipa tenacissima, tamarix gallica and ziziphus lotus) [6].
2.2.3. Wetland of Ain ben khelil
The resort is a wetland listed by ramsar. Its is localized at (longitude 0° west and latitude 33° north). The water of wetland concerned two hundred hectares surrounded by several units or peripheral areas; immediate area of water is characterized by tamarix and alfa formation. The gausses diagram and Ombrothermic bagnouls shows the dry period in the naama region is longer from april until October during the period (1985-2012). The rainfall climagramme emberger quotient (Q2) show that three stations located in the fresh winter upper arid area [7].
2.2.4. Study of Orthoptera
The Study of orthoptera for each station is studied with transects methods. Thirteen samples were taken from August (2015) until August (2017). The number of mature individuals belonging to each locust species is counted separately. The collected specimens were preserved by both dry and wet preservation methods. The determination of orthoptera species is based on the chopard key (1943), and the acridoidea catalog of north west africa of Louveaux, A. & al. (1987) [8].
2.3. Extraction of chitin from cuticle of orthoptera
Orthoptera cuticle was suspended in 10% of chlorhydric acid (HCl) solution at room temperature for two hours. Deproteinization of cuticle was done by treating the demineralized cuticle with 10 % of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 100°C for two hours. After the incubation time, the residue product was washed to neutrality in running tap water and vacuum dried. Finally the product obtained was chitin (white powder, yield 96.95%) [9].
2.4. Chemical transformation of chitin to chitosan
Chitin obtained was deacetylatied by 50 % of sodium hydroxide( NaOH) solution at 80 to 100°C temperature for two hours, the obtained product was washed several time under mechanical stirring with water to neutrality, rinsed with deionized water then filtered, vacuum dried and grinded to obtained chitosan(white powder yielded 98.23 %) [10].
