| Organism Biology: | Spharagemon marmorata is a banded-winged grasshopper that exists from the Southeastern Coastal Plain, north to New England and west to the Great Basin. They thrive in late summer into early fall and can be found in open woods and sandy areas. (BugGuide, hosted by Iowa State University, 2006) | ||

This is probably due to the fact that my particular grasshopper, Spharagemon marmorata, has not been sequenced often, if at all in the United States and documented with this source or with the barcode of life. |
