Camnula pellucida, the clearwinged grasshopper, is found commonly at mid to high elevations and at
lower elevations where moist grasses occur. It is especially common in the Black Hills,
Big Horn Mountains, and the mountains of northwest Wyoming but can be found throughout
the state. This species passes the winter as eggs and hatches in the spring. Adults
can often be found as early as late June. It feeds on grasses, and when populations
are dense damage to pastures can be severe.
