GENERAL FEEDERS 
GRASSHOPPERS (Acrididae) 
Michigan. R. Hutson (May 22): Grasshoppers are moderately abundant. Hatching 
in some localities. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles and assistants (May): Hot more than 1 per cent of the 
grasshoppers had hatched in the Red River Valley up to May 23. (Abstract, 
J.A.H.) 
North Dakota. J. A. Munro (May 20): Grasshoppers were reported moderately abun- 
dant in Cass County May 19. We looked over some territory southwest of Ear- 
go and found the young hoppers hatching. 
South Dakota. H. C. Severin (April 26): No hatching as yet. (May 15): Eggs 
of Melanp-plus bivittatus Say have begun to hatch. 
Wyoming. C. L. Corkins (May 10): Grasshoppers are hatching generally over 
northern Wyoming. Indications are for more or less serious outbreaks some- 
what of a localized nature throughout the Bighorn Basin and in Sheridan 
County. 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (April 28): Grasshoppers are very abundant along rail- 
roads and in pastures in Brazos and Burleson Counties. 
Utah. G. E. Knowlton (May 22): Grasshoppers continue hatching in various parts 
of northern Utah, but up to date no serious outbreaks have been observed or 
reported. Nymphs were most abundant in the Grant svi lie- Dolomite areas of 
Tooele County. Mclanoplus sp. are emerging in small numbers at Lakepoint 
and Dolomite in Tooele County and at Lamp in Box Elder County. 
A CAMEL CRICKET ( Daihinia brevipes Hald.) 
Oklahoma. C. F. Stiles (May 23): The California camel back cricket is appear- 
ing in large numbers in Roger Mills and Harmon Counties. Many of the garden- 
ers say they are feeding on vegetation, but so far I have been unable to 
prove this. 
MORMON CRICKET ( Anabrus simplex Hald.) 
Montana. A. L. Strand. (May 20): An outbreak has developed in the east end 
of Carbon County where the insect occurred last season. An area of about 
10 square miles is affected. Bands of young crickets (3-4 instars) are 
working down into cultivated crops from the higher range land. 
Washington. L. P. Rockwood and T. R. Chamberlin (May 6): After considerable ex- 
ploration of the Sand Hills northeast of Pasco, we find that Mormon crickets 
are quite abundant over most of an area of at least 10 square miles of range 
land. They appear to have originated on the south sides of the higher ridges. 
The crickets were in the 4th, 5th, and 5th stages, mostly 5th.
