Grasshoppers hear through a specialized organ called the tympanum, which is located on their knees. This organ functions as a sound receptor, picking up vibrations from the air. When sound waves travel through the air, they cause the tympanum to vibrate, allowing the grasshopper to detect and interpret sounds. This unique adaptation enables them to sense predators and communicate with each other effectively.
