Lubber grasshoppers in the landscape
UF/IFAS Extension Charlotte County says black and yellow striped lubber nymphs appeared in February and early March in 2023 and molt every 15 to 20 days, growing into adults up to 3.5 inches long. They feed on ornamentals such as amaryllis, crinum, oleander, lantana and Mexican petunia and can spray a frothy, irritating fluid. Hand-picking helps, and young nymphs are easier to control than adults, so act early in the season. Source: UF/IFAS Extension Charlotte County: 2023, a bumper crop of lubbers?
