What is the meaning of 'be like the water young grasshopper'?
This is not an idiom - it is a quote from a television series called Kung Fu. This show was popular in the 1970s. It starred David Carradine as a half-Chinese/half-American priest who avenged the murder of another priest and was thus a wanted man in China - he came to America during the Old West period and the series was about his search for his American relatives. This quote was from one of the many flashbacks, of Quai Chang learning from Master Kan, who called him "grasshopper." 'Still water is like glass. It is a perfect level. A carpenter could use it. The heart of a wise man is tranquil and still. Thus it is the mirror of heaven and earth. The glass of everything. Be like still water. You look into it and see yourself.'" -

A grasshopper needs to breathe air-just as a person does. But grasshoppers don't have lungs. Instead, they have tiny holes, called spiracles, in their thoraxes and abdomens. A grasshopper has 10 pairs of spiracles. Air goes into the insect's body through the front holes. Air leaves the body through the back holes. Next time you see a grasshopper, look at it closely. You will see its abdomen move in and out as it breathes.
Look for an insecticide containing bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, esfenvalerate, chlorpyrifos, diazinonbifenthrin, carbaryl, cyhalothrin, or permethrin. Insecticides containing any of these chemicals will usually prove effective at killing chiggers, but you should read the label carefully to determine if a specific insecticide is formulated for mite or chiggers. Your best bet for a yard is something you can apply in a hose end sprayer using your garden hose. many of these types of sprayers have an adjustable rate setting (1 oz per gallon, etc.) You have to shop carefully though since if the chemical is too diluted, obviously there will be no benefit, but this is the easiest way for a homeowner to do it.
You might also try to get a quote from someone off of craigslist for a 1 time power spray for chiggers (with some kind of guarantee) to see what kind of prices you get.
What type of life cycle does a grasshopper have?
Grasshoppers have 3 stages to their life cycle. These are:
* Egg - The eggs spend about 10 months in a dormant stage, normally over the autumn and winter months. * Nymph - This stage takes about 25 to 50 days and results in a fully formed adult grasshopper. The nymph will moult five times during the nymph stage, each is about 5 to 10 day apart. * Adult - The adult normally lives for about 30 days. It takes 14 days for them to become sexually mature and mate, and a further two to three weeks to lay the eggs. After this the adult will die and the life cycle will start again.

Incredibly, they built tiny little space rockets and blasted off to a very distant planet where there is no evolution. They then sifted there, smoking reefer and watching tv, for 213,675 centuries. Finally, after passing a remit, they flew back to earth and landed in your back yard, utterly unchanged. Darwin doesn't mention it anywhere, but a grasshopper personally told him that's what they did. And when I saw Darwin last Tuesday, at the Thorpe Bay Lawn Bowling Club, having a half with Bryce, he told me.
