A grasshopper has a hard exoskeleton. This exoskeleton cannot grow or stretch. So, as the grasshopper grows, it must shed its exoskeleton. This is called molting. When a grasshopper is ready to molt, it climbs onto a leaf or a branch. It may even hang upside down. Slowly, the grasshopper slides out of its old exoskeleton. Underneath, the grasshopper has a new, soft exoskeleton. The grasshopper puffs up with air. This makes its body bigger while the new exoskeleton hardens.

There are over 10,000 species of grasshoppers. Most grasshoppers are omnivores and eat grass, cereal crops and leaves. They can grow to be 7 cm long.
Lobsters and grasshoppers grow by molting.
Grasshoppers mate through a process called copulation, where the male transfers sperm to the female. The female then lays eggs in the soil, which hatch into nymphs that grow into adult grasshoppers.
no theyre herbivoresNo, grasshoppers are vegetarians.
Grasshoppers have a hard exoskeleton so to grow they must shed it.
Grasshoppers do not require damp soil to grow and reproduce; in fact, they typically thrive in drier environments. They lay their eggs in soil that can be somewhat dry, as excessive moisture can lead to egg rot. However, grasshoppers do need vegetation for food and shelter, which is often found in areas with adequate moisture. Overall, while some moisture is beneficial for the ecosystem, grasshoppers are generally adapted to survive in a variety of conditions, including arid landscapes.
it does not re-grow. usually the grasshopper will then become fish bait
A grasshopper is.....About twice as big as a cricket.Usually the size of your thumb. Some can be as long as your hand shockingly in the Amazon.Usually the size of your thumb.

Most grasshopper individuals grow to about 2 inches long although larger grasshoppers are found on a fairly regular basis that grow to more than 5 inches in length.
In an area populated by foxes, rabbits, grasshoppers, and field mice, the largest population would likely be that of the grasshoppers. Grasshoppers typically reproduce rapidly and have high reproductive rates, allowing their populations to grow quickly. While rabbits and field mice can also have large populations, they are more susceptible to predation by foxes. Thus, the grasshoppers would likely outnumber the other species in this scenario.
