Grasshoppers of the Western U.S., Edition 4 combines two sites into one: Grasshoppers of the Western U.S., Edition 3 and Common Nymphal Grasshoppers of the Western U.S.. The tool now offers keys to identify both adult and pre-adult stages of many of the most commonly encountered grasshoppers in the western U.S. Several new species were added to the adult key with this update, so the adult key now facilitates the identification of 76 species of adult grasshoppers occurring in the western United States. New characters have been added to the adult key which refer to the location and time of the collection of adult grasshoppers to be identified. This will allow more rapid identification of specimens as these characters may eliminate some otherwise similar species from the potential species list.
