== == There are about 11,000 species of grasshopper that have been validated, although the number is thought to be closer to 2,400 existent species, as many species are yet to be described or even discovered, especially those in tropical wet forests.

Red Legged Grasshopper The Red legged Grasshopper is brown in color but have bright red hind legs. It is usually seen on soybean crops and other similar plants. Two-Striped Grasshopper This specie loves grasses and other plants with broad leaves. They need these kinds of plants to attain their maximum growth. They usually appear late in May until early June. Spur-Throated Grasshopper The spur-throated grasshopper has a knob between its two front legs. It is brownish or yellowish in color and reaches a length of about one inch. Band-Winged Grasshopper You will identify this type of grasshopper by its brightly colored hind wings. In addition, the wings produce a cracking sound when the grasshopper is in flight.

Bear in mind that these grasshoppers are only a small, representative sampling of the many species you may encounter. Not all insects and not all grasshoppers are harmful to your garden plants. If you encounter a species of grasshopper in your garden that you do not recognize, try to capture a live specimen and use an insect guidebook to identify it. You can also take the insect to your local college Biology department or to a local plant nursery for identification. If the insect is no threat to your garden, there's no reason to kill it or to drive it away.
