Extract

The name cow grasshopper has been chosen for this insect because of the habit of the female in selecting cattle “chips” or dung in which to place her eggs. On account of this habit, cattle have become an important factor in the spread and perpetuation of the grasshopper and to associate it with the name of its unconscious benefactor seems appropriate.
