What sound a grasshopper make?
Exactly like a cricket. Except a grasshoppers noise is louder. I heard them before. I saw them in a baseball field. You know I love to play baseball. Grasshoppers make noise but we humans can yell louder than a chirp of a grasshopper. This is why a grasshoppers chirp is louder than a crickets. Because a grasshoppers voicebox is larger than a crickets. Easy to kill. We are big, and strong.
No, a grasshopper cannot crawl. A grasshopper's rear legs are bent in the opposite direction of a human's legs, so it is impossible for a grasshopper to crawl on its knees like a human.
Which legs does the grasshopper use to jump?
The grasshopper has three pairs of legs. The front pair is used for both walking and holding food as well as climbing. The middle pair is used for walking and climbing. The back pair is used for jumping only.
Crickets are some what related to Grasshoppers, but are by no means the same.
There are many physical differences between the too species. Crickets have a slightly flattened look to their body, and long antenna, whereas a Grasshopper has a similar body, but with large hind legs used for jumping and much shorter antenna. The Grasshopper antenna tend to be shorter that the length of their bodies, but the Crickets are normally longer.
The Cricket tend to come out at night and are classed as nocturnal, however Grasshoppers are normally found during the day light hours.
Grasshoppers make a loud sound by either rubbing the hind legs against the forewing or abdomen (this is called Stridulation), or by snapping their wings while in flight. Crickets, however, only use stridulation, and have two very distinctive chirps. One is for calling and the other is for mating. The calling chirp is the louder of the two.
The diet of the two insects also differs, The cricket is omnivorous and scavenges organic materials, as well as decaying plant matter, seedling plants and fungi. Crickets have also been known to consume their own dead when no other food source is available. The Grasshopper, on the other hand, is a herbivore and only eats plant, and grass matter.
These are only a few of the differences between the two species, and although they are similar in appearance, they are quite different many other ways.
