Melanoplus Differentialis

Description

The young will feed upon various grains, alfalfa and hay crops while the adults will attack the corn, cotton and deciduous fruit crops. A single swarm can often deplete a younger crop to nothing in a matter of a few days. Because this species has a tendency to stay in large swarms while eating, it is a serious issue for farmers in most of its range. In the northern part of the range it is joined equally in numbers by the Two-striped grasshopper (Melanoplus bivittatus) but it strongly out numbers it in the southern portion.


Thank you in advance for the collection adds and favorites, your support of my photography truly means the world to me.
