Karnataka is one of India's larger states in the southern region. The studies on Acrididae are of significance as they are one of the largest group of plant feeding insects and are also a prey base for many of the vertebrates e.g amphibian, reptilian and birds because of their exoskeleton having rich protein content. Along with this, some of the acrididae are also pests of economic significance.
