Abstract

The reproductive behaviour of Camnula pellucida (Scudder) is described. This includes some general information on congregation on a field breeding site as well as detailed descriptions of courtship, copulation, and oviposition behaviour. Differences in behavioural patterns from those previously outlined for another major grasshopper species are tabulated.
