Grasshoppers eat large quantities of foliage both as adults and during their development, and can be serious pests of arid land and prairies. Pasture, grain, forage, vegetable and other crops can be affected. Grasshoppers often bask in the sun, and thrive in warm sunny conditions, so drought stimulates an increase in grasshopper populations.
Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects is a series of books produced by the Royal Entomological Society (RES). The aim of the Handbooks is to provide illustrated identification keys to the insects of Britain, together with concise morphological, biological and distributional information.
Species such as the Senegalese grasshopper (Oedaleus senegalensis) [30] and the African rice grasshopper (Hieroglyphus daganensis), both from the Sahel, often display locust-like behaviour and change morphologically on crowding. [30] North America is the only sub-continent besides Antarctica without a native locust species.
Pseudochorthippus parallelus [2] (often known by its synonym Chorthippus parallelus), the meadow grasshopper, [3] is a common species of grasshopper in the tribe Gomphocerini. [4] It is found in non-arid grasslands throughout the well vegetated areas of Europe and some adjoining areas of Asia.
Digital automated identification system (DAISY) is an automated species identification system optimised for the rapid screening of invertebrates (e.g. insects) by non-experts (e.g. parataxonomists). It was developed by Dr. Mark O'Neill during the mid-1990s. Development was supported by funding from the Darwin Initiative in 1997 [1] and BBSRC. [2]
A British woman came across a rare sight in her grandmother's garden in Gloucestershire: a pink grasshopper.
