  1. mormon cricket

    A Mormon cricket is a large insect that is part of the katydid family, scientifically known as Anabrus simplex. They are native to the western regions of North America and get their name from the Mormon pioneers whose crops were invaded by these crickets in the 19th century. Despite their name, they are not true crickets and can grow up to 3 inches long. They are notorious for their swarming behavior, which could devastate agricultural crops and vegetation.

  1. Mormon cricket

    The Mormon cricket is a large insect that can grow to almost three inches in length. They live throughout western North America in rangelands dominated by sagebrush and forbs. Despite its name, the Mormon cricket is actually a shieldbacked katydid, not a cricket. They take their name from Mormon settlers in Utah, who encountered them while pushing westward, and for the prominent role they play in the miracle of the gulls. The Mormon cricket is flightless, but capable of traveling up to two kilometers a day in its swarming phase, during which it is a serious agricultural pest and traffic hazard.
