Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed exploration of the grasshopper population that inhabits the dry interior of British Columbia. The author, an expert in the field, has spent years studying these insects and their impact on the local cattle industry. The book begins with a description of this grasshopper species, their biology and their lifecycle, which includes both egg-laying and hatching. It then proceeds to examine the role these grasshoppers have played in the region since the late 1880s. The author describes the damage caused by these grasshoppers every six or seven years, which has been particularly harmful to the region's agricultural development. They trace the history of grasshopper outbreaks through archival records and environmental data, concluding that climate change and overgrazing have been significant factors in their severity. Exploring the relationship between grasshoppers and the plant life of the region, the author also discusses the potential role of these insects as an indicator species for environmental change.
