Rocky Mountain Locust - Melanoplus spretus

Rocky Mountain Locust - Melanoplus spretus
Illustration from a larger color plate on "Locusts of Minnesota". I have not seen any other public domain illustrations of this species in color. Illustrator is not credited per se, but the plate says "Julius Bien & Co. Lith. N.Y." Biographical information on the web mentions Julius Bien (1826-1909).
Source: Annual report of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Minnesota. (11th July 1902-June 1903). BHL links: report, plate, caption.
