Grasshoppers

–by Jeff Whitworth — Field Crops

 

“Worms” are not the only pests feeding on crops right now! Grasshoppers (see fig 5) are especially numerous this year and will also continue to feed into the fall and continue to deposit eggs in the soil mainly in undisturbed areas adjacent to crop fields.  (All pictures by Cody Wyckoff)
