The Rocky Mountain locust became extinct in 1902, but their cousins, grasshoppers and Mormon crickets, today still cause an estimated $1.5 billion in damage to grazing lands in the American West. Scientist are trying to figure out why is there such an outbreak in grasshoppers but they have not concluded anything .
I think this is so cool that a omnivore is taking over the ecosystem. I wouldn't mind if scientist made a something to control the reproduction of a grasshopper it be cool if we can see grasshopper population increase.
