Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West
Entomology
Slantfaced Pasture Grasshopper
Orphulella speciosa (Scudder)
Orphulella speciosa occurs uncommonly in the mixedgrass prairie of northeastern Wyoming. It is most common
in the grasslands of the Black Hills. Eggs overwinter and adults are present in July
and August. It is not abundant enough in Wyoming to cause damage to rangelands.
