As they grow, they start to form a new softer shell beneath the outter shell. Once they are too big to stay in their old shell, they shed it, and use the new shell they've grown.

I'm not sure about a grasshopper, but i know how lobsters grow. Like crabs, they molt. They sort of shed their had shell, grow, then grow a new hard shell.
