I’m not good at finding grasshopper eggs. Unfortunately they are not hard to find this year.

Peace Region farmers. Ag Cdn entomogists sweep about 120 canola fields in a whirlwind tour late June/early July. This acts as an early warning of pest issues. They'd like a vebal OK to enter, so pls e-mail [email protected] for info or to offer permission for field entry.

Here’s a grasshopper observation for you. It’s the third time I’ve seen this. Kochia patches that were green last fall have high populations of baby grasshoppers right now.

It's a strong odd-even signal. I have been keeping track since I noticed in 1995, and AAAF has kept detailed counts since 2003 or so (heroic field work). Here is a graph I submitted in a paper a while back. Weather does not affect it the way it affects the trends farther south.
