Is a grasshopper a single cell or a multi cell?
A grasshopper is not a unicellular organism. In fact, it is considered to be a multicellular organism as are eels, duckweed, and crayfish.
All glow worms glow during their larval stage. Some also glow in the adult female state.
There are three main familes of glow worms (actually beetles or flies).
* Lampyridae (Europe and Asia, usually called fireflies or lightning bugs). The wingless adult females glow with a yellow-green colored light to attract males and as a warning signal to predators (they are mildly toxic). The larvae can also emit light.
* Phengodidae (North and South America, usually called glow worm beetles) females adults glow with a yellow-green colored light to attract a mate. The larvae (usually called glow worms) also emit light.
* Arachnocampa (New Zealand and Australia) glow in their larva stage with a blue-green colored light to attract tiny insects into sticky snare lines for eating. Most of their life is spent in the larva stage. Very interesting, but you dont have to be so smarty-pants. Glow worms glow when they are larvae. There, I answered it in 7 words!

How does grasshopers comunicate?
Their throat
Some grasshoppers "sing". Those that do rub their back leg against their wing to produce a "chirp" sound. Other grasshoppers rub two wings together to produce a "chirp" sound.
What do the front legs a grasshopper do?
Grasshoppers have three pairs of jointed legs. The first two pairs of smaller legs are used for walking and climbing while the third pair of hind legs are adapted for jumping.
The movement at the joints are produced by the contraction of the antagonistic muscles which are the flexor and the extensor muscles. Grasshoppers have both extensor muscles and flexor muscles inside their femur to extend and flex their tibia.
So when the grasshopper jumps, the flexor muscles contracts, bringing the hind legs to the 'Z' position (in which the hind legs are folded and appeared like the letter 'Z'). The extensor muscles will then contract while the flexor muscles relax (producing a powerful force to push against the ground) and thus, propels the grasshopper into the air. This mechanism is called jumping.

:To this answer i would have to say that probbly wasnt a grasshopper, but rather a Cydia they look like grass hoppers but are much larger and eat other insects. They have been known to hunt spiders,
Yes they bite, and making a crackling sound when they feel endangered. If you did swell up that means you are allergic and need to go to the hospital.
Many grasshoppers are carnivorous, especially katydids (very long antennae). They will bite when threatened or picked up. They're not venomous however, as far as I know, so there should not be an allergic reaction aside from the actual wound.
i think tarantulas eat grasshoppers because once my cousin told me that her pet tarantula bit her finger because she forgot to feed it a grasshopper
Frogs will eat them too.
