Trimerotropis infantilis

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Trimerotropis infantilis faces severe habitat degradation from urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the southwestern United States. The species' specialized requirements for specific soil types and vegetation communities make it particularly vulnerable to land conversion. Recreational activities including off-road vehicle use further fragment and degrade remaining suitable habitat patches.

Threat summary

Habitat

This grasshopper species inhabits specialized arid grasslands and desert scrub communities with specific soil composition requirements. It typically occurs in areas with sparse vegetation cover and well-drained sandy or gravelly soils at elevations between 1,000-2,500 meters.
