What is the difference between a leaf hopper and a grass hopper?
"Locusts are part of a large group of insects commonly called grasshoppers which have big hind legs for jumping. Locusts belong to the family called Acrididae [,short-horned grasshoppers]. Locusts differ from grasshoppers in that they have the ability to change their behaviour and habits and can migrate over large distances. As Desert Locusts increase in number and become more crowded, they change their behavior from that of acting as an individual (solitarious) insect to that as acting as part of a group (gregarious). The appearance of the locust also changes: solitary adults are brown whereas gregarious adults are pink (immature) and yellow (mature). Up until 1921, it was thought that the Desert Locust was actually two different species of locusts." http://www.fao.org/ag/locusts/en/info/info/faq/

Garlic oil· Grasshoppers hate the smell and taste of garlic, so a garlic-oil mix works well as a homemade control spray. Chop finely six fresh garlic cloves and mix them with one tablespoon of mineral oil to make a homemade control spray.The mixture will need to steep for 24 hours in a glass jar for maximum potency. Use a strainer or a piece of cheesecloth to strain the liquid, discarding the pieces of garlic afterward.
Dilute two tablespoons of garlic-infused oil with one pint of water and one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. Spray your plants thoroughly with your homemade mixture, covering both top and bottom of plant leaves.

What is the function of the tympanic membrane on a grasshopper?
To allow the grasshopper to hear. The tympanum is basically an eardrum in the side of a grashopper's body. To hear, just like us. Grasshopper and cricket males often chirp and sing to attract females, so the females need to hear quite well, and males compete with other males, so they also need the eardrums.
Do grasshoppers have sticky feet?
No, grasshoppers do not have sticky feet. Instead, they have specialized pads and spines on their feet that help them grip surfaces and jump effectively. These adaptations allow them to navigate their environment and escape from predators rather than relying on stickiness.
