Some insects can live for substantial periods without a head, although they will usually die of dehydration or starvation within a day or two (cockroaches may live even longer).

Honey bees have ten spiracles (breathing pores). Three are on the thorax, and seven on the abdomen. The spiracles are the openings to the trachea, which expand and collapse like lungs in response to abdominal wall movement. Two large sacs in the abdomen and smaller ones in the head and thorax lead to very small breathing tubes with blind ends which are filled with liquid which absorbs oxygen and which diffuses into the tissues.

Grasshoppers are basically like the pacifist of the bug family. However, they do "bite".

The common American grasshopper has mandibles big enough to inflict much pain on an unsuspecting finger; or a window screen for that matter

How does a grasshopper make sound?

Grasshoppers make sounds in one of two ways - stridulation or crepitation.

Stridulation involves rubbing one body part, which acts as a rasp, against another, which acts as a scraper. Most grasshoppers stridulate to make their characteristic sounds. In grasshoppers, a row of pegs along the inside of the hind leg acts as a file, or rasp. The grasshopper rubs this leg surface against the thickened forewing, causing a vibration and thus a sound.

A few grasshoppers, most notably some band-winged grasshoppers in the family Oedipodinae, use an entirely different method of sound production, called crepitation. These grasshoppers snap their hindwings rapidly as they fly, making a distinct crackling sound.

Where to where does grasshoppers migrate?

Grasshoppers do fly, but for only short distances. They can fly for up to 10 feet if they need too. Grasshoppers fly to get away from something they feel could be a threat to them. They have been noted to fly towards light, such as a porch light.
