GENERAL FEEDERS 
GRASSHOPPERS (Acrididae) 
C. R. Willey (February 23): ■ Schistocerca americana Drury 
is moderately abundant. Many "were seen in the woods on 
January 23 while hunting at Alberta, Brunswick County. The 
grasshoppers would fly up like birds and take to the trees. 
J. 3. Gill (February 22): Adults of Felanoplus f emur- rub rum 
DeG. and other species have rerrained active during the winter. 
J. R. Watson (February 23): S. americana is moderately 
abundant over all Florida. 
E. L. Chambers (February 24): While we have no definite 
data, on the overwintering of grasshoppers, the snow in the light 
sand areas usually rrost heavil" infested has been sufficient to 
affort quite favorable winter protection, while the southern 
half of the State has as yet had practically no snow and very 
frequent and radical changes from sub-zero to very high 
teirperatures, which should be very unfavorable for survival. 
J. A. Munro (February 23): Of the various insects of economic 
importance, grasshoppers of the destructive species are causing 
the most concern. Samples of soil containing thousands of 
grasshopper eggs*, sent in recently from infested areas, 
indicate that the eggs are wintering over in almost perfect 
condition. When reared in an incubator these eggs showed a 
95 per cent hatch. Pembina, Walsh, and Grand Forks Counties 
w ors the most seriously infested with grasshoppers during the 
past season. _ 
L. Haseman (February 22): Eggs are abundant and a. large 
percentage of them seem to be in good condition. 
2. C Sullivan (February 19): Grasshopper eggs are very 
abundant in western and northwestern Missouri. 
H. B. Hungerford (February 23): Nymphs are moderately 
abundant. 
C. Lyle and assist%nts (February): Grasshoppers were moderate- 
ly abundant all winter in Monroe County; a few ^ere observed 
in January in Panola County. S. americana can still be seen 
flying in Gecrge County. (Abstract, G. M. ) 
A. G. Stephens (February 18): Grasshoppers have been re- 
ported scarce in northeastern Wyoming; although some have 
been noted.
