Description: The first book of its kind for South America. This is the first volume of an intended trilogy of photo guides to the grasshoppers inhabiting Northwest South America. Dozens of species of common and not so easily found, dazzling and cryptic grasshoppers and katydids either living in the suburbia of tropical cities or in the most remote areas of the rain forest jump at you from these pages, with notes on their identification and biology.
Notes: First part of an intended trilogy
