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.

Yeah, I've been bit by a grasshopper too, but it didn't draw my blood, i was going to let him outside of the house and he just bit me.

I have a grasshopper that must love me, it hasn't bitten me but it has stayed on my arms and hands for about 2 hours now. If anyone else tries to hold it it will jump off. So I wonder what's up with my little friend and me?

So a couple of days ago my dog yelped and cried out so load I thought someone had hurt her. She has acted scared for the last two days. It has been bothering me what happened. No one was around her....she just started to yelp and run. Tonight I found a grasshopper on my Celine. I think it bit her. It is weird tho. It has a claw looking thing hanging of the back of it.

: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.

Are grasshoppers warm blooded or cold blooded?

Grasshoppers are considered to be cold blooded as they use exothermic means to control their body temperature. This means that they control their temperature via external means by taking advantage of the environment around them. This would include things like sunning on rocks to warm up, or shading themselves to cool down.
cold blooded

How does the blood of a grasshopper transport?

The blood of a grasshopper is called hemolymph. It is a type of interstitial fluid that circulates through the body of the grasshopper and is responsible for transporting materials and nutrients to different parts of the body. Hemolymph is made up of two components:

  • Acellular fluid
  • Cells
The acellular fluid is composed of water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and minerals. The cells, also known as hemocytes, are responsible for maintaining the health of the grasshopper by performing functions such as clotting, digestion, immune defense, and wound healing. Hemolymph also acts as a medium for cells to communicate with each other and helps to regulate the grasshopper's body temperature.
