The family Acrididae, which falls under the order Orthoptera includes locusts and grasshoppers. insects are found all over the globe. In general, locusts refer to larger acridids, while smaller species are known as grasshoppers. The comprehensive study indicates that there are 19 species from various families, which include 12 species from Acrididae, 4 Catantopidae, and 3 from Pyrgomorphidae. A thorough investigation was carried out across different crops and habitats to gather grasshoppers from a variety of agricultural sites. The collected data showed that Acrididae made up 63%, Catantopidae for 21%, and Pyrgomorphidae comprised 16% of the findings. The survey highlighted diverse seasonal patterns and significant agricultural landscapes in certain areas of the Patna district, pertinent to grasshopper collections during the observational studies. These observations also covered geographical distributions, landscape diversity, host ranges, and pest occurrences. Grasshoppers belong to the superfamily Acridoidea and the Pyrgomorphoidea order within the Orthoptera suborder Caelifera. These insects hold significant economic value as they can replace crucial pest groups and pose a continual threat to cereal crops, pulses, vegetables, orchards, grasslands, and forest plantations worldwide. Both nymphs and adults feed on leaves by cutting into the edges. When their population increases, they can consume midribs and entire leaves, leading to severe defoliation. However, no comprehensive studies on the diversity of grasshoppers in Bihar’s paddy fields have been conducted up to this point. In light of this, efforts are being made to investigate the diversity and distribution of grasshoppers in the area to help manage pest populations and enhance rice productivity

Keywords: Acrididae, Patna, grasshopper, distribution, diversity.
