IDAHO 
This was the second year in which collections have been made in 
typical environments in Idaho during the adult survey. A total of 2,911 
specimens were collected in 4 different habitats and 80 species were 
represented in the collections, 
Melanoulus mexicanus was the dominant species in 3 out of 4 of the 
habitats, but M. femur- rub rum was the most numerous in alfalfa and in the 
total number collected. Alfalfa is the most favorable place for grass- 
hoppers and this is the reason that M, femur-rub r\m was dominant for col- 
lections in the State as a whole. Infestations for the State as a whole 
were light and scattered. Only two counties which are likely to need as 
much as 25 and 30 tons of bait for control.
