Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West
Entomology
Pronotal Range Grasshopper
Cratypedes neglectus (Thomas)
Cratypedes neglectus occurs throughout the rangelands of Wyoming. Occasional records have been reported
from northeastern Wyoming. It overwinters as eggs and there is evidence for a two-year
life cycle in parts of Wyoming. Adults are present from early June through August.
The species is reported as a mixed feeder that could damage rangelands in conjunction
with other species. It is rarely abundant enough in Wyoming to cause damage.
