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.
Grasshoppers reproduce through a process called sexual reproduction, where a male grasshopper transfers sperm into the female grasshopper's reproductive system. The female then lays eggs in the soil, which hatch into nymphs that undergo a series of molts to develop into adult grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers lay eggs, they are not pregnant.
Long horned grasshoppers have a very different diet than other grasshoppers. In addition to plants, long horned grasshoppers eat other insects and feed off of dead animals.
Insect nymphs are immature insects who turn into adults by stages, called instars, in contrast to insects with grub-like larvae who pupate such as mosquitos or butterflies. Aquatically this usually refers to dragonflies, damselflies, mayflies, and stoneflies while grasshoppers are a good example of a terrestrial species with nymphs. All the aforementioned aquatic nymphs mainly breathe through gills, though the location on the body can vary.
4 stages long.
No, grasshoppers undergo incomplete metamorphosis. They go through three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The nymphs resemble smaller versions of the adults and do not have a pupal stage like insects that undergo complete metamorphosis.
Nymphs. Wood nymphs are dryads/ napaeae; tree nymphs are hamadryads; water, stream and fountain nymphs are naiads; sea nymphs are nereids; ocean nymphs are oceanids; and mountain nymphs are oreads.
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.

Many grasshoppers lay their eggs in the fall. By the next spring, the eggs are ready to hatch. When a baby grasshopper hatches, it wiggles slowly out of its egg. Then it pushes through the egg pod and makes its way up out of the hole. A baby grasshopper is called a nymph (NIHMF). Nymphs may be tiny, but they have huge appetites. In fact, nymphs eat even more than adult grasshoppers do.
Water Nymphs. They are one of five types of nymphs, and only live so long as the water they protect exists.
