Mugwort Grasshopper - Hypochlora alba - female

Mugwort Grasshopper - Hypochlora alba - Female
Olson Nature Preserve, Boone County, Nebraska, USA
July 23, 2020
July 19, 2020: meandered this prairie remnant on a beautiful day looking at plants and insects.
Collected this grasshopper on Artemisia in hopes of rearing it to an adult. Fed it Prairie sage, Artemisia ludoviciana.
October 29, 2020: it was near death as I photographed it, only the antennae were moving, just days before cold weather took down the sage host plant. (I had started some sage indoors, just in case.)
