Abstract
Development and survival of field-collected Hypochlora alba (Dodge) (Orthoptera: Acrididae) were normal on its host plant, Artemisia Iudoviciana Nutt. (Asteraceae), on leaves with sparse or medium pubescence but were reduced or terminated on leaves with dense pubescence. Without pubescence. development and survival were initially retarded. Field-collected Melanoplus bivittatus (Say) and Melanoplus sanguinipes (F.) attained only 3rd instar on normal leaves. Without pubescence, a few generally moribund M. bivittatus reached adulthood; no M. sanguinipes more than 4th instar.
