Grasshoppers draw attention to themselves by their active movements, their
bright colours and their song. This book offers an introduction that will
enable the reader to undertake investigations of their own.Much
remains to be discovered about the life history of grasshoppers. Individual
observers can contribute much to the study of population dynamics, and the
parasites and predators responsible for mortality. The feeding behaviour of
grasshoppers is amenable to investigation and suggestions are made for
experimental studies. This book contains an addendum drawing attention to
recent research and updating the addresses and reference list.The
British species are illustrated in colour and keys are provided for
identification. Methods are described for studying grasshoppers in the field
and for rearing them indoors.
