weta have a much elonggated head while grasshoppers have a flat head
A male grasshopper has two different sex chromosomes, XY, while a female grasshopper has two of the same sex chromosomes, XX. This difference in sex chromosome composition determines the sex of the grasshopper.
The largest grasshopper species is found in Australia, they are called (appropriately) Giant Grasshoppers and they range from 2.5 to 3 inches long. They are simply the species of grasshopper that are largest on average, in actuality the size is very close to other types of grasshoppers. For instance, there have been locusts (another type of grasshopper) found that are 4 inches long and the record for the largest grasshopper on record is 5 inches long, it lives in Venezuela. Actually, this is not the largest kind. Though I cannot say what is, a Eastern Lubber Grasshopper found in FLorida is 4 inches long on average. And they are ugly suckers too. http://www.wildflorida.com/wildlife/insects/Eastern_Lubber_Grasshopper.php
The thorax is the region of the grasshopper that is specialized for movement.Specifically, the term designates the region between a grasshopper's (suborder Caelifera) head and a grasshopper's abdomen. It is the region to which the grasshopper's three sets of legs are attached, for "walking" in the case of the first two and jumping in terms of the third. It also is where the wings for flying will be found.
A grasshopper is a heterotroph.
The grasshopper belongs to the Animal Kingdom. Many people don't consider insects to be animals but this is how they are classified in biology.
The larger cousin of a grasshopper is:A Weta
The difference between a locust and a katydid is a locust is short horned grasshopper. A katydid is a long horned grasshopper, or what is known as just a grasshopper.
Sounds to me like it'd be the length of their horns that is the difference.

It smaller and they eat different foods
'Deinacrida spp' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name of the giant weta insect of New Zealand. 'Deinacrida' is the genus name. It's Greek for 'terrible grasshopper'.The letters 'spp' stand for 'species'. They can be replaced by the exact kind of giant weta, which is classified according to where it's found in New Zealand. Specifically, there are eleven [11] different species of giant weta:1. 'Deinacrida carinata', or Herekopare giant weta;2. 'D. connectens', Alpine scree giant weta;3. 'D. elegans', Bluff giant weta;4. 'D. fallai', Poor Knights giant weta;5. 'D. heteracantha', Little Barrier Island giant weta;6. 'D. mahoenui', Mahoenui giant weta;7. 'D. parva', Kaikoura giant weta;8. 'D. pluvialis', Giant weta;9. 'D. rugosa', Cook Strait giant weta;10. 'D. talpa', Giant mole weta;11. 'D. tibiospina', Mt Arthur giant weta.
the males segment is round. the females segment is pointy
A weta is an invertebrate
Weta lay between 200 to 300 eggs at one time depending on their size. The eggs then take between three to five months in order to hatch.
A Weta is an invertebrate.
Weta Digital was created in 1993.
Yes, there is a species of weta with wings, called the flying weta, we have seen a couple at our place, they have very thin wings. Obviously if a weta you see doesn't have wings, its not of the flying variety.
