Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West
Entomology
Clubhorned Grasshopper
Aeropedellus clavatus (Thomas)
Aeropedellus clavatus, the clubhorned grasshopper, is found throughout the rangelands in Wyoming, but is
more abundant in moist areas and at higher elevations. The eggs pass the winter in
soil and may take two years to hatch at higher elevations. Adults can be found from
June to September. Although it feeds on grasses, reports of damage to rangelands are
rare.
