What type of life cycle does a grasshopper have?

Answer 1

Grasshoppers have 3 stages to their life cycle. These are:

* Egg - The eggs spend about 10 months in a dormant stage, normally over the autumn and winter months. * Nymph - This stage takes about 25 to 50 days and results in a fully formed adult grasshopper. The nymph will moult five times during the nymph stage, each is about 5 to 10 day apart. * Adult - The adult normally lives for about 30 days. It takes 14 days for them to become sexually mature and mate, and a further two to three weeks to lay the eggs. After this the adult will die and the life cycle will start again.

Answer 2

The grasshopper's reproductive system consists of the gonads, the ducts which carry sexual products to the exterior, and accessory glands. In males, the testes consist of a number of follicles which hold the spermatocytes as they mature and form packets of elongated spermatozoa.

During reproduction, the male grasshopper introduces sperm into the ovipositor through its aedeagus (reproductive organ), and inserts its spermatophore, a package containing the sperm, into the female's ovipositor. The sperm enters the eggs through fine canals called micropyles. The female then lays the fertilized egg pod, using her ovipositor and abdomen to insert the eggs about one to two inches underground, although they can also be laid in plant roots or even manure. The egg pod contains several dozens of tightly packed eggs that look like thin rice grains. The eggs stay there through the winter, and hatch when the weather has warmed sufficiently. In temperate zones, many grasshoppers spend most of their life as eggs through the cooler months (up to 9 months) and the active states (young and adult grasshoppers) live only up to three months. The first nymphto hatch tunnels up through the ground, and the rest follow. Grasshoppers develop through stages and progressively get larger in body and wing size. This development is referred to as hemimetabolous or incomplete metamorphosis since the young are rather similar to the adult
