Anabrus simplex
Male and female adult Mormon crickets were field collected on June 15, 2016 from a banding outbreak population on Bennett Mountain in Ellmore County, Idaho (43.24268 N 115.54202 W), 1538 m above sea level. They were taken to the USDA ARS Pest Management Research Unit's lab in Sidney, MT where a male and female from the same population were placed in a cage to mate and lay eggs in a pan of sand. The egg of the female F1 specimen iqAnaSimp1 used here developed and hatched in 2020 after prolonged diapause (collection and rearing detailed in Srygley 2020 Ecol Entomol 45:485). iqAnaSimp1 molted into an adult on January 27, 2021 and was flash frozen in March 2021. Mormon crickets have a XO/XX sex determination system.
