Melanoplus is a large genus of grasshoppers. They are the typical large grasshoppers (and in some cases migratory “locusts”) in North America. A common name is spur-throat grasshoppers (also “spurthroat” or “spur-throated grasshoppers”), but this more typically refers to members of the related subfamily Catantopinae.
