Walker), the Sudan Plague Locust (SPL) and the most important\nbiotic and abiotic factors governed its population for two consecutive seasons.\nMethodology: Field surveys were carried out in 4 localities in White Nile State viz., Kosti, Rabak, Al-gablain and Al-Salam\nto determine the species composition of grass hoppers as well as seasonal abundance of f Aiolopus simulatrix (F. Walker)\nfollowing (Luong- Skovmand, 2005) method.\nResults: The study revealed 14 grasshopper\u2019s species in WNS. The population of nymphs A. simulatrix were increased during\nAugust and September and that of adults were increased in October in both seasons. The most preferred host for SPL is\nSorghum and millet but more than thirty plants were found to be as alternative hosts. The dark clay soils were found the\nmost suitable to be utilized by females for egg laying, hibernation and aestivation. The correlation of grasshopper population\nwas found highly positive, moderately positive and strongly negative with quantity of rain, relative humidity, sun rise and\ntemperature respectively.\nThe study revealed for the first time predatory birds\u2019 prey on nymphs and adults of SPL grasshopper these birds are Egret\n(Bublcus ibis), carmine bee-eater, (Meropes nubicus) and two rare endangered birds Abdims Stork (Ciconia abdimii) and White\nStork (Ciconia ciconia).Conclusion: The compiled information in this study is considered as a baseline for researchers to initiate a program for\nintegrated management for SPL in WNS and all the country.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.23880\/oajar-16000377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,3]],"date-time":"2025-01-03T11:15:14Z","timestamp":1735902914000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Diversity of Grasshoppers with Some Aspects of Bioecology of Aiolopus simulatrix (F.
