Grasshoppers

Grasshoppers do not lay eggs in the water. Instead, grasshoppers will lay eggs in the soil and wait for them to hatch.

The smell of a grasshopper depends largely on its environment. The grasshopper might smell like wood, dirt or leaves depending on where it was.

Grasshopper droppings are brown, solid and oblong. The shape of grasshopper droppings are similar to a grain of rice, but smaller.

The Desert locust's hatch into wingless larva's called hoppers. They shed their skin five or six times. It is called moulting the stage between moults is referred to instar. Finally moult from the wingless instar hopper to a winged adult is called fledging. The new adult also known as fledging has soft wings that dry and harden before it fly's. Adults don't moult so therefore don't grow size increasing in weight. Adult that fly are immature but then later become mature and can lay eggs.

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

Grasshoppers are cold-blooded insects. Grasshoppers control their temperature via external means by taking advantage of the environment around them, such as resting in sunny spots or cooling in the shade.

A niche includes adaptations (structural, behavioral and physiological), habitat, feeding habits (what is eats, what eats it) and activity (nocturnal or diurnal) so:

Adaptations: They have long hind legs to be able to spring forward long distances to avoid/escape predators they have an exoskeleton for protection and are camouflaged colour to prevent being seen easily.

Habitat: Grasshoppers tend to live in low grass land, pastures, fields, meadows and swamps.

Feeding habits: Grasshoppers are herbivores and feed upon grass, leaves and small plants. Their predators include birds, rodents, reptiles and other small mammals.

Activity: Grasshoppers feed day and night, sleeping small amounts during the night so are technically diurnal.

Grasshoppers typically live alone. They are most active during the day and at times may form giant swarms that can destroy massive areas of crops.

A butterfly does have feelers. These feelers are at the top of the butterfly's head. The feelers help it to feel its surroundings.

A grasshopper is another name for a locust. A grasshopper is an insect that eats plants and has long back legs adapted for leaping.A Grasshopper sings to other grasshoppers by rubbing the hard veins on its front wings over the tiny teeth inside its back legs.

A female grasshopper is a called a female grasshopper. Thank you. Please hold the applause.

The name of a baby grasshopper is a nymph. The nymphs are much smaller, brighter than an adult. They also have no wings.

Grasshoppers have a brain, therefore, their head houses their brain. It also houses their eyes, which are more effective than human eyes.

Hi

Grasshopper’s help us give food to other peoples.....

The adaptations for grasshoppers are their long hind legs that spring/jump great distances to avoid or escape predators, hard exoskeleton for protection, and color for camouflage in order hide from enemies.

Help it hunt.

Grasshoppers do not normally eat cactuses. They eat grass, leaves, and cereal crops. They are omnivorous and may only feed on one plant.

A grasshopper is an insect, and all insects inhale air.

No grasshoppers hop that's why it has the word hopper.

It is true they hop but the majority also fly some have wings and still only hop but their wings greatly add to the hoop witch looks allot like gliding. So the statement that they only hop is like saying earth is made of watter witch is true but not accurate.

• Labrum-holds food
• Mandibles-mouthparts that can chew and pierce food
• labium-helps the maxillae chew/holds food
• maxillary palps-sense food characteristics
• maxillae-chew and taste food
• Labial palps-contain sense organs that help a grasshopper choose suitable food (similar to a tongue, I think)

Click Beetles eat lots of stuff.

Click Beetles can eat Aphids, Plants, Other smaller juicier Insects, and much much more!

Grasshoppers come from Masaka a remote village in the central part of Uganda a country in E.Africa. Museveni, lead to their disappearance later, because of his ar he waged in masaka. Corruption has made them even disaapear further.

It mostly depends on the species and the environment around it. Most of the time, the eggs won't hatch until the spring, meaning that they can be waiting for 9 months to hatch.

I'm currently raising grasshoppers and I would like to figure that out too, so I did a little research.
