Correction: Although grasshoppers are generally plant eaters, they don't mind eating smaller creatures that they eat along with the plants that they are sitting on. In fact, in parts of Africa where locust swarms sometimes occur (probably in parts of Asia and America as well) the people living there are pleased when locusts come in, as long as they have enough to eat when the locusts have left, because the locusts eat a lot of pests on the plants, such as ticks.
Also there is at least one lot of "long-horned grasshoppers" (Some people call long-horned grasshoppers katydids.) making up the sub-family Saginae, that eat practically only the insects that they can catch. Some of them at least occur in South Africa They have specially spiky legs for catching their prey. Some Australian grasshoppers that either are in the same subfamily or a very similar one, mostly eat cicadas.

A Grass Hopper Hops By Using Their Feet 2 Hop . ! ! ! Use More Sense Please . , Lol Just Kidding
Yes, grasshoppers produce sounds to attract mates and protect their territory. Unlike crickets, grasshoppers do not make sound by rubbing their wings together. They make sound using stridulation or crepitation. Stridulation is rubbing one body part against another, crepitation is when the grasshoppers snap their hindwings rapidly as they fly.
