Extract

Rangeland grasshoppers commonly are reared through a single generation in the laboratory from eggs collected in the field or produced by field-collected adults. These grasshoppers usually undergo an obligate egg diapause. The only exceptions are nondiapause strains of an economically important grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes (F.) (Pickford and Randell 1969; Henry 1985).
