How would you describe a grasshopper?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Grasshoppers have antennae that are almost always shorter than the body (sometimes filamentous), and short ovipositors. Those species that make easily heard noises usually do so by rubbing the hind femurs against the forewings or abdomen (stridulation), or by snapping the wings in flight. Tympana, if present, are on the sides of the first abdominal segment. The hind femora are typically long and strong, fitted for leaping. Generally they are winged, but hind wings are membranous while front wings (tegmina) are coriaceous and not fit for flight. Females are normally larger than males, with short ovipositors.

They are easily confused with the other sub-order of Orthoptera, Ensifera, but are different in many aspects, such as the number of segments in their antennae and structure of the ovipositor, as well as the location of the tympana and modes of sound production. Ensiferans have antennae with at least 30 segments, and caeliferans have fewer. In evolutionary terms, the split between the Caelifera and the Ensifera is no more recent than the Permo-Triassic boundary.

Answer 3

A thin-walled storage sac that is led from a short esophagus.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grasshoppers slice up plants as food and their digestive system is designed to deal with it.

It starts with the Mouth which pulls food into the body, the behind the mouth comes the Pharynx and Its muscles push food down the Esophagus which is a tuberunning to the Crop.

The Crop is a holding spot before the Gizzard which helps grind and digest food.

From the Gizzard food passes into the Gastric Ceca which is used to help hold and digest food by secreting digestive enzymes into the Stomach where food sits before it passes into the Intestine, a tube running from the Stomach to the Rectum which stores digested food before excreting it through the Anus.
