The grasshopper

It was first described by Scott LaGreca in 1954.

Short-horned grasshoppers are day-active jumpers of grass and bare ground. Hearing organs sit on the abdomen.

Grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets hear and sing. A species may be diagnosed by the song or by a mountain valley.

Range and habitat

Reatine Apennine Grasshopper is recorded from Italy.

GBIF currently lists 8 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Life history

Song, season, and a named mountain are how many of these insects were split. A silent valley after fire is an empty record.

Life history follows the order: complete metamorphosis in moths and beetles, nymphs in grasshoppers and bugs. This page does not invent a host plant that no source named.
