Grasshoppers

More than likely what you are describing sounds like the larval stage of a dragonfly. When they are young, they look like a grasshopper body. They grow longer and thinner as they grow older and leave the water.

Have a rubber male grasshopper mate with a rubber female grasshopper. The offspring will be rubber, provided the male grasshopper wasn't wearing a rubber at the time of mating.

a variety of grasses like prairie grass.

The locust The locust has biting-chewing mouthparts and mainly lives on leaves of plants. The mouthparts consist of: a) The labrum or upper lip in front covers and protects the other mouthparts. It prevents food from falling out the mouth. b) The two mandibles or hard upper jaws have sharp, serrated edges. They move side- ways and rasp of minute pieces of food which are grinded and chewed and swallowed c) The two maxillae or soft lower jaws are used to hold and to push the food into the mouth. The maxillary palps are sensitive and taste the food. d) The labium or lower lip at the back prevents food from falling out the mouth. The labial palps selects, taste and handle food.

No, but they are protected by an exoskeleton, which is like a shell in a way.

Grasshoppers are 2-5 inch

They reproduce sexually. After the female lays the eggs, most of the young grasshoppers life is lived in those eggs, until it goes through the stages of larvae. After the larvil stages, it lives a month or so as a nymph, or young grasshopper. After reaching full adulthood they live up to about three months, then die.

A grasshopper is a "true locust". It is a member of the class "Orthoptera", the straight wing insect group including mantids, walking sticks, crickets, cockroaches, and katydids. The grasshoppers are considered the "Short Horned Orthopterans".

In appearance they have six legs,wings flat against their body, and their rear legs are very large, and used for hopping, sometimes, on the ground, and sometimes to take flight. The have short antennae, and large compound eyes.

Their mouth parts are constructed for eating vegetation, and they sometimes migrate in swarms, wiping out large masses of wheat, and other crops.

Tropidacris holds the largest sized locusts. All indigenous in South America, where they are often misidentified as "Giant Crickets". A grasshopper rubs it's legs together to emit a sound.

A grasshopper is a consumer.

There environment is usually in tall grass example hay and if your keeping them as a pet then you want to have a decent size cage and then cut up a sponge and soak it with water and put in said cage then you may put sticks in there and a rock or two and put a few leaves and some grass and carrots or broccoli or some kind of vegetation and make sure to clean the cage and keep soaking the sponge every few days.

Locusts closely resemble grasshoppers in appearance, yet are larger, measuring around 2 inches in length. What makes them different from their grasshopper cousins is that locusts can actually go into two behavioral states, depending on population densities and environmental conditions. Normally, locusts remain in what is called a "solitary" phase. But if favorable breeding conditions cause more young to hatch than usual, resulting in overcrowding and scarcity of food, or the locusts migrate to regions where the habitat is unsuitable, the insects will go through what is called a "phase change". This second state is called the "gregarious" phase where the locusts become agitated, begin to gather in very large numbers and finally evolve into a single migrating swarm, or plague.

This is a good photo of a couple of locusts:

I believe what you may be thinking of ("clear lacy wings") might be a cicada:

Many people who do not know what a cicada is will refer to it as a locust since they do come out every so many years (17-year-cicadas and 13-year-cicadas). Both insects feed on vegetation and migrate in swarms.

In short, a locust looks much like a large grasshopper :)

because they can.

Actually, a grasshopper's hind legs are long and mobile so they jump to get around. As you might have noticed, they are small, so jumping will cover more distance than crawling around.

Yes! My friend's daughter just had one bite her.

they have 678 mandibles. And its used to 796595465/85744785789

Arkive shows a picture of a male and female grasshopper side-by-side. They are common field grasshoppers, but there are more than 10,000 known species of grasshoppers throughout the world.

Insects like grasshoppers have heat receptors in their body to detect heat. They also have antennas which help them detect movement and vibrations.

its not a shell, its an exoskeleton, and it is made out of chitin.

They eat plants
