if there was nothing left for them to eat then they could survive on strawberries but it wouldn't be their first choice.

In the wild they eat most kinds of leafy green stuff, but strawberry leaves are a bit tough, while the berries are a bit lumpy. So if there are juicy grasses and herbs around, most grasshoppers probably would give a well-weeded strawberry field a miss most of the time. But when there are large numbers of grasshoppers, say, when people have been spraying unwisely and killing creatures that eat grasshoppers, your strawberries could have a hard time when there are not enough of the grasshoppers' favourite foods.

Yes, grasshoppers eat raw potatoes. The members of the Caelifera suborder of orthopteran insects have the ability to consume and store toxic foods, such as the poisonous solanine alkaloids in fresh potato fruits, leaves, sprouts, stems and tubers. Young grasshoppers, called nymphs, tend to digest clover, grasses and shoots while mature grasshoppers will have undiscerning appetites for anything with bark, flowers or seeds, despite preferences for alfalfa, barley, clover, corn, cotton, oats, rye and wheat.

First, it turns red. The lettuce eats the grasshoppe's body from the inside out and soon, you have no grasshopper left.
