摘要：

The feeding habits of M. bivittatus (Say) and M. femurrubrum (DeGeer) in an Ontario [Canada] grassland were investigated by analyzing crop contents. Both species are mixed feeders which prefer forbs over grasses. Both species ingested a wide range of host plants in the field, showing preferences for some species over others. Differential growth and mortality resulted when grasshoppers were reared on different host plants.
