Sphenarium
Genus of grasshoppers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sphenarium is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Pyrgomorphidae, native to Mexico and northern Central America.[2][3] During outbreaks, they can cause significant damage to agricultural crops.[3][4] Conversely, they have been caught for human consumption, for example as chapulines, since pre-Columbian times, a practice that also continues today.[3][4]
