Spring rains blamed for Amarillo grasshopper invasion
Heavy spring rains in the Texas Panhandle are blamed for a grasshopper surge around Amarillo. Horticulturist Greg Lusk says pests target ornamental grasses and herbs before moving to other plants, while Texas A&M Extension entomologist Ed Bynum notes eggs likely laid after May with abundant vegetation. Lusk began insecticide treatment as leaf damage appeared and plants offered little defense.
