Trimerotropis verruculata, known generally as the crackling forest grasshopper or cracker grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in North America. [1] [2] [3] [4] Its English common name comes from the distinctive cracking sound it makes as it flies. Its specific scientific name is derived from the Latin word for wart or excrescence [5] and refers to its mottled rough appearance which probably provides camouflage on the exposed gravel, rock and ledge where it is often found.
