Hell-Spawn Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Caught in NY. Are these differential grasshoppers? Are they toxic, like a lubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Do you have any shots from the top? I'm thinking either Melanoplus differentialis or Melanoplus bivittatus. Leaning towards M. bivittatus. Nope, they aren't toxic like lubbers unless they've been feeding on toxic plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell-Spawn Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 My thought was differntialis as well, thanks. And yep, I have a couple more shots: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrioptera Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I realize this is several months overdue but I can confirm that these are two-striped grasshoppers, Melanoplus bivittatus femoratus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Agreed with metrioptera and I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to this post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
