Zusammenfassung:	In 1997, 92% of female and 72% of male eastern lubber grasshoppers, Romalea microptera Beauvois, in southwest Florida were infested with maggots of the tachinid parasitoid Anisia serotina (Reinhard) (X = 8.6 maggots/infested grasshopper). In 1998, densities of both host and parasitoid were greatly reduced.
