American Grasshopper, Schistocerca americana (Drury) (Insecta: Orthoptera: Acrididae)

IN130/EENY-004 by John L. Capinera and Jason M. SquitierAugust 24, 2021The American grasshopper, Schistocerca americana (Drury), occasionally causes serious damage to crops and ornamental plants, and their great abundance can be a nuisance. Fields can be invaded daily by the adult grasshoppers, which often roost at night in nearby trees and shrubs (Kuitert and Connin 1952). The short-winged nymphs are less mobile, of course, and normally reside within sunny fields, as the grasshoppers avoid shade. Their eggs are deposited in the soil.
