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.
