Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West
Entomology
Stenobothrus shastanus (Scudder)
Stenobothrus shastanus is an uncommon grasshopper that occurs in the mountains of extreme western Wyoming.
It prefers grassy meadows in forest openings. The adults in this survey were collected
in late August. It is probably a grass feeder but does not cause any economic damage
to forage in Wyoming.
