Melanoplus bivittatus in floodplain - Melanoplus bivittatus
Sevenmile Creek, 8 km NW of Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana, USA
October 6, 2021
Habitat image posted for the article Habitats of the Sevenmile Creek Restoration Site, Helena, MT.

Restored floodplain facing west. All of the vegetation in the foreground is regrowth following substantial soil disturbance the past winter during stream restoration. The patch of grasses on the right is Agropyron intermedium, which has re-emerged vigorously from rhizomes that survived the heavy equipment. Otherwise, annuals are dominant, in this photo flowering Helianthus annuus and rounded brownish clumps of senescing Kochia scoparia.
