“Florida naturalists will be delighted by Grasshoppers of Florida. This wonderfully presented book unlocks an amazing world that previously was unavailable to most backyard and weekend naturalists.”—Richard Franz, Florida Museum of Natural History
“This is an easy-to-use field guide to the grasshoppers of Florida. If you have ever wondered what that big critter is, jumping around outside, this book is for you.”—Richard A. Redak, University of California, Riverside
This first field guide to the grasshoppers of Florida introduces one of the most obvious and important, though little appreciated, insect groups. It provides identification of the 70 species known to occur in Florida and may be used in other southeastern states where many of these grasshoppers are also found.
The authors present the biology, behavior, ecological significance, and damage potential of grasshoppers and emphasize their interrelationship with Florida’s fauna. Straightforward, detailed descriptions, color photos, drawings, and distribution maps make it possible to identify each species with accuracy.

Until now it has not been possible to accurately identify grasshoppers in Florida, and their fascinating biology was unavailable to all but specialists. This first field guide to the grasshoppers of Florida introduces one of the most obvious and important, though little appreciated, insect groups. It provides identification of the 70 species known to occur in Florida and may be used in other southeastern states where many of these grasshoppers are also found. The authors present the biology, behavior, ecological significance, and damage potential of grasshoppers and emphasize their interrelationship with Florida's fauna. A straightforward, detailed description of each species is accompanied by a distribution map. Nearly all species are pictured in color, and detailed line drawings help distinguish among those more difficult to identify.
Grasshoppers of Florida will be invaluable to amateur naturalists, students of entomology and natural history, and professional biologists.
