No. Grasshoppers, having an exoskeleton and loose bundles of nerves, are not vertebrates. They are invertebrates, members of the phylum Arthropoda. This means that they are grouped with animals with exoskeletons and jointed legs, such as other insects, lobsters, and Spiders.
Vertebrates are members of the phylum Chordata which is identified by a spinal column, spinal chord, and a cranium. Chordata have endoskeletons -- meaning interior bones rather then the outer shells of arthropods-- including a spine and cranium. Vertebrates include mice, kangaroos and humans.

No. A vertebrate is an animal that has a spinal column (vertebra) inside it's body. A grasshopper is an insect and has an outer shell.
Yes, grasshopper blood, like that of other insects, carries gases, but it does so differently than vertebrate blood. Insects have a tracheal system that delivers oxygen directly to their tissues, meaning their blood (hemolymph) does not transport oxygen in the same way that vertebrate blood does. Instead, hemolymph primarily functions in nutrient transport and waste removal, while the tracheal system is responsible for gas exchange.
