abstract
The Acrididae family's seasonal distribution and systematics are examined in detail in this study, with a particular emphasis on grasshoppers in Tehsil Ratodero, Sindh, Pakistan. The study uses thorough field surveys to identify and characterize six different species from five genera in the Acrididae family: Acrida exaltata, Truxalis Eximia Eximia, Aiolopus thalassinus thalassinus, Acrotylus longipes longipes, Oxya velox and Acrotylus humbertianus. The results highlight the ecological importance of these species, clarifying their functions in biodiversity, the financial consequences for agriculture, and their interdependence in the surrounding ecosystem. The research offers significant insights that address the complex dynamics of Acrididae in Tehsil Ratodero and contributes to both scholarly debate and practical pest management measures. With 29% of the population, Lashari had the most population, while Banguldero had the lowest, at 14%.
