Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Crickets and Grasshoppers: Final Report; 1 December 1984
Crickets and grasshoppers, members of the order Orthoptera, are common and widespread jumping insects. Many hundreds of species of crickets and grass hoppers occur in the United States. Although normally considered to be impor tant components of natural ecosystems, a few species occasionally become seri ous pests, both indoors and in the field. Under certain environmental condi tions huge swarms consisting of millions or even billions of individuals may appear, causing widespread destruction of crops and rangeland. This package describes the life histories and management of four groups that have been found to be of greatest concern in the National Park System.
