Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West
Entomology
Bruner Slantfaced Grasshopper
Stenobothrus brunneus (Thomas)
Stenobothrus brunneus (also known as Bruneria brunnea) occurs in foothill grasslands and dry mountain meadows in Wyoming. It becomes less
common at very high elevations or in the moist mountain meadows. Eggs are assumed
to overwinter in the soil. Adults are common from mid July to early September. This
grasshopper feeds mostly on grasses. At times it can be quite abundant. Damage to
foothill grasslands is possible in conjunction with other species.
