Facts about the Grasshopper:

The scientific name of the grasshopper is Caelifera . There are over 11,000 known species in the world, living on every continent except Antarctica. Grasshoppers have an interesting body design with several cool adaptations. For example, grasshoppers have five eyes! They have three extra eyes between the eyes we normally see.

Grasshoppers have two thread-like antennae that are shorter and slightly thicker than those of crickets. It is said that the sensory bristles on the tips of these antennae are the grasshopper's nose. The hind legs of a grasshopper are elongated and designed for jumping long distances. They also have two pairs of wings that are attached to the body. A grasshopper's body consists of three parts.

Grasshoppers vary in color, but most are shown as green in pictures. The colors range from yellow to brown and serve as camouflage. Many grasshoppers can jump 10 times their length high and 20 times their length in the distance! Adult grasshoppers range in length from 1 to 7 cm, with females generally being larger than males. Males attract potential mates by vibrating their wings or rubbing their wings on their hind legs. This produces noise, which makes the females curious and comes to the males.
