The common meadow grasshopper, Orchelimum vulgare, a member of the katydid family heads like the last group, but being mostly of smaller size. There are numerous species of the meadow grasshoppers, but most of them in the eastern part of the United States belong to two genera known as Orchelimum and Conoceph- alus.
