Aeropedellus arcticus
Arctic Grasshopper
Aeropedellus arcticus is a species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae, described by Hebard in 1935. It belongs to the genus Aeropedellus, commonly known as clubhorned grasshoppers due to their distinctive clavate antennae. The species epithet 'arcticus' suggests an association with arctic or high-latitude environments. As a member of the subfamily Gomphocerinae, it is part of a group characterized by slant-faced grasshoppers with specific antennal modifications. The species is known from Alaska and broader North America, though detailed biological studies appear limited compared to its congener A. clavatus.
