Identify Creatures As True Mormon Cricket
The two insects on display at the Telegraph office have been identified as Mormon crickets by Earle G Reed, agricultural supervisor for the Union Pacific railroad. Reed, who has seen thousands in Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho, says the captive pair are partially grown and will have a hard wingless body when mature. They can crawl or hop about a mile daily and, when massed, march in the millions, consuming everything in their path. Reed hopes no additional specimens are found in the territory.
