Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West
Entomology
Trimerotropis fratercula McNeill
Trimerotropis fratercula has been found in eastern Wyoming as far north as Guernsey. It prefers open pine
savannahs and mountain foothills. Our adult specimens were collected July 31, south
of Pine Bluffs, but adults are probably present through August. This uncommon grasshopper
is not considered an economic pest in Wyoming.
