Entomology
Trimerotropis inconspicua Bruner
Trimerotropis inconspicua is primarily a grasshopper of the Great Basin that can be found in the deserts of
southwest Wyoming. It prefers dry grassy areas with barren soil. It is common on gravelly
ridges in the Great Divide Basin. Adults were found in August and early September.
Although locally numerous, this grasshopper is not suspected of causing economic damage
to rangelands in Wyoming.
