➣ The forewings, known as tegmina, are narrow and leathery while the hindwings are large and membranous,

➣ Front legs of grasshopper are much shorter than hind legs. They are used for walking and feeding.

➣Grasshoppers are best jumpers, they has long legs that especially designed with string like structure in knees which acts like catapult

➣ Grasshopper's single jump can be 200 times longer than their body length.
➣ Grasshoppers produce songs by rubbing their legs with wings. Songs are used to attract females.

➣ The generalised song can vary in phraseology and intensity, and is modified in the presence of a rival male, and changes again to a courtship song when a female is nearby.

➣ though in some species of Grasshoppers,  the females also stridulate.

➣ The female of most Grasshopper species digs a hole with her ovipositor and lays a batch of eggs in a pod in the ground near food plants. 

➣ Grasshoppers covers the hole with soil and litter After laying the eggs.

➣ Some, like the semi-aquatic Cornops aquaticum, deposit the pod directly into plant tissue.

➣ The eggs in the pod are glued together with a froth in some species
➣ The migratory grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes, spends about 25 to 30 days as a nymph

➣  depending on sex and temperature  an adult lives for about 51 days  .
➣ Grasshoppers  undergoes five moults, and tehy becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage.
➣ An adult desert locust can eat about 2 g (0.1 oz) of plant material each day.

➣ Many of the Grasshoppers are master of disguise. However some are Bright colored.

➣  Dactylotum bicolor, known as the painted grasshopper
Has Captivating Coloration so they called    rainbow grasshopper.
➣ The rainbow grasshopper is also distasteful to birds.

➣ During the migration, grasshopper can remain in the air (without landing) three days.

➣ The largest recorded locust swarm was one formed by the now-extinct Rocky Mountain locust in 1875; the swarm was 1,800 miles (2,900 km) long and 110 miles (180 km) wide,[42] and one estimate puts the number of locusts involved at 3.5 trillion.
