Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West

Introduction

The purpose of this electronic "grasshopper encyclopedia" is to permanently archive while simultaneously making widely available the best information available on North American grasshopper ecology, biology and management. The problem with conventional publication of this material, as opposed to electronic, is that the small potential audience makes the cost of sustained publication prohibitive. The result of this cost is that very useful publications go out of print and the public is no longer able to obtain them. By providing this document via the Internet we hope to make this information easily available to the public far into the future.
