http://webpages.marshall.edu/~irby1/laura/grasshop.html

Extractions: In her book On the Banks of Plum Creek , Laura tells of a heart breaking incident which destroyed her father's crops and made it impossible to live off the land for several years. In the dry summer of 1874, farmers began to report strange glittering, whirling clouds in the sky. As they came closer, the clouds could be heard making an unearthly noise - a cross between a rustle and a screech. As they came closer they were found to be made up of millions upon millions of grasshoppers. In a 'Z' shaped area from Oregon to Dakota to Kansas to Missouri these clouds began to descend upon the land. Reports of "lakes" of grasshoppers 3 inches deep were not uncommon. Branches of trees broke under their weight. Farmers, like Charles, tried to save their crops by setting fire to straw and dung, but all attempts were futile. The grasshoppers were starving and fighting to find every scrap of food. Families covered their vegetable plots with sheets and cloths only to find the grasshoppers eating the sheets. The grasshoppers were so hungry they were eating human clothing, hair and skin. They were even eating each other. Every piece of living vegetable matter was eaten, leaving nothing for the farmers to collect for the winter. Even the animals left, looking for something to eat. Some farmers, disillusioned, packed their belongings into their wagon and headed back east. In disgust, they painted pictures of grasshoppers on the side of their wagons to show everyone why they were leaving. In order to help those who stayed, the federal government offered relief to farmers, but it quickly ran out. In some states money was offered to those who killed the grasshoppers. In Minnesota, people could make 50 cents for every bushel of grasshoppers collected. (A sack with a diameter of 12 inches (30cm) and 15 inches (38cm) high). So many grasshoppers were collected in that state, it went bankrupt. 1874 was a very difficult winter, and the grasshoppers came back in 1875, but eventually the numbers decreased back to normal levels.
Grasshoppers

http://ipm.ncsu.edu/AG271/small_grains/grasshoppers.html

Extractions: Acrididae, ORTHOPTERA Adult - Fully grown grasshoppers range in length from 19 to 38 mm. Coloration varies with species. Redlegged grasshoppers are reddish brown with a yellow underside. The differential grasshopper is basically brownish yellow or olive green with contrasting black markings on the hindlegs which distinctively resemble chevrons. Greenish yellow in color, the twostriped grasshopper has two pale stripes running down its back from the head to the wing tips. Color plate Egg - Egg pods are oval to elongate and often curved. Often the size of kernels of rice, eggs may be white, yellow-green, tan or various shades of brown depending on the species. Nymph - Nymphs resemble small, wingless adults. Newly hatched nymphs are white; however, after exposure to sunlight, they assume the distinctive colors and markings of adults. Distribution - Grasshoppers occur throughout the continental United States. Extensive grasshopper damage to crops, however, is fairly restricted to subhumid, semiarid areas which receive 25.4 to 76.2 cm (about 10 to 30 inches) of rain annually. Such an area includes the states from Montana and Minnesota, southward into New Mexico and Texas. Although common in North Carolina, grasshoppers seldom pose a severe threat to crops in this state.

Grasshopper Management
Abstract Although grasshoppers are difficult to control, their impact can be minimized by preventive management over the long term.
http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/grasshopper.html

Extractions: Row Covers Although the grasshopper occurs throughout the continental U.S., most of the damage it causes is restricted to "sub-humid, semi-arid" areas, extending from Montana and Minnesota to Texas and New Mexico ( Life Cycle There are three stages in a grasshopper's life cycle, the egg, nymph (the young grasshopper), and the adult. Most grasshopper species over-winter as eggs, which are laid in clusters in late summer and early fall and hatch in spring, when soil temperatures warm up.

http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/Entomology/entfacts/fldcrops/ef116.htm

Extractions: AND THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES Grasshoppers are familiar to most people; their large "jumping legs" easily identify them. Worldwide, grasshoppers are some of the most serious agricultural pests, most often due to their direct feeding on the harvestable portion of the crop. However, in the United States, pest outbreaks occur most often in the western U. S., or following drought in other, generally wetter regions, including Kentucky. Grasshoppers are insects in the Order Orthoptera. They have an incomplete life cycle, i.e. there are only three stages in its life cycle: the egg, the nymph, and the adult. The nymphal stage can be distinguished from the adult by the nature of the wings. Nymphs have nonfunctional wing pads whereas adults have fully developed, functional wings. The adult wings are folded over the back when not in use. Most adults have two pairs of wings: parchment-like front wings, and membraneous, fan-like hind wings. Mouthparts are the typical chewing type, and a pair of short cerci (appendages) are present at the end of the abdomen. There are 3 species of grasshoppers that are the most common in Kentucky: the redlegged, the two-striped, and the differential grasshopper.

Entomophaga Grylli
Text and photographs describing the biological control agent, Entomophaga grylli, a fungal disease of grasshoppers. Biological Control
http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/biocontrol/pathogens/entomophaga_grylli.html

Extractions: Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales With contributions by Mark Ramos, Plant Protection, USDA-ARS, 331 US Plant Soil Nutrition Laboratory, Cornell University. E. grylli is a species complex that has two distinct pathotypes in North America: Entomophaga macleodii and Entomophaga calopteni. In addition, another complex member, E. praxibuli has been introduced from Australia. They all attack grasshoppers which are major pests of crops and rangeland in the Western United States and Canada. In 1986, approximately 55 million acres of western rangeland were infested by grasshoppers and the economic cost is estimated at over $400 million per year. A Grasshopper Integrated Pest Management Program was initiated in 1986-1992 by USDA-APHIS researching integrated approaches to managing grasshoppers preferable to application of expensive insecticides over vast areas of rangeland. Entomophaga grylli is easily identified in the field. Shortly before death, infected grasshoppers crawl to the top of plants and die with their heads pointing upward and their legs wrapped tightly around the stalks where they may remain for several days.

grasshoppers. Goggy Davidowitz. Observant hikers in the Sonoran Desert soon notice grasshoppers jumping near their feet or flitting between bushes and cacti.
http://www.desertmuseum.org/books/nhsd_grasshopper_new.html

Extractions: Order Form Related topics: Goggy Davidowitz Observant hikers in the Sonoran Desert soon notice grasshoppers jumping near their feet or flitting between bushes and cacti. These are among the most frequently encountered and easily observed of the Sonoran Desert insects in the late summer. The most noticeable feature of grasshoppers is their long, jumping hind legs, which enable them to leap well over 20 times their body length (imagine a 6-foot tall person jumping 120 feet!). However, while the powerful jumping muscles of the hind legs provide the force necessary for leaping, they cannot propel the grasshopper in these impressive leaps unaided. Most of the kinetic energy to do this comes not from the muscles, but from the semilunar crescent located in the knee of the hind leg. This crescent-shaped organ is made of elastic fibers that store energy in preparation for a jump; they release this energy explosively, propelling the grasshopper forward many times its body length. Grasshoppers develop through incomplete metamorphosis. The nymphs appear similar to the adults except that they lack wings and have incomplete reproductive organs. The number of instars (larval stages between molts) through which a grasshopper develops before reaching adulthood is fixed in some species (typically 4 to 6). In others, it depends on growing conditions: the better the conditions, the fewer the immature stages.

Orthoptera - Grasshoppers, Crickets, Katydids
Orthoptera grasshoppers and locusts. The number of moults varies between species but grasshoppers may have up to 6 while crickets may have up to 10.
http://www.ento.csiro.au/education/insects/orthoptera.html

Extractions: Grasshoppers, crickets, katydids and locusts all belong to the order Orthoptera which means 'straight wings'. Most are easily recognisable by their hind legs, which are usually enlarged for jumping. They are often easily seen jumping away when disturbed or heard 'singing' at night. They are mainly medium to large insects with some species in Australia growing to a length of 10 centimetres. There are about 3000 species in Australia and all can be distinguished from other insects by the following features: (yellow-winged locust) 2 pairs of wings. The forewings are narrower than the hind wings and hardened or leathery at the base. They are held roof-like overlapping the abdomen at rest. The hind wing is membranous and held folded fan-like under the forewings when at rest Mandibulate mouthparts Large compound eyes Antennae may be short to very long depending on the species. Grasshoppers have relatively short antennae while crickets and katydids generally have long antennae

Extractions: Michael J. Weiss , Professor of Entomology Each season grasshoppers are a threat to field crops, forage crops, pastures and rangeland in North Dakota. The most severe infestations are likely to occur during seasons when the weather is hot and dry. Scouting should begin in May and early June, and producers should be prepared to start management measures when young hopper populations reach threatening levels. Contents: Life Cycle Insecticidal Control Recommendations Figure 1. Grasshopper life cycle. Grasshopper eggs are laid beneath the soil surface in pod-like structures that the female deposits from her abdomen. Each egg pod consists of 20 to 120 elongated eggs securely cemented together; the whole mass is somewhat eggshaped and covered with soil. A female grasshopper produces from eight to 25 egg masses. The species of grasshoppers that cause major crop loss overwinter in the egg stage, although a few other noneconomic species overwinter as nymphs. In the Northern Plains, grasshopper egg hatch normally begins in late April to early May. The peak hatch occurs about mid June and the hatch is usually nearing completion by late June. Cool and extremely dry springs may delay the hatch, allowing it to continue into July.
