| | Grasshopper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Grasshoppers are herbivorous insects of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. | | | The preparation of grasshoppers as food varies, but sometimes they are pan-fried, with or without oil, after removing the wings and legs. | | | Locusts are several species of short-horned grasshoppers of the family Acrididae that sometimes form very large groups (swarms); these can be highly destructive and migrate in a more or less coordinated way. |

| | Grasshopper Information |
| | Many species of grasshoppers are general herbivores feeding on a variety of plants. | | | Grasshoppers are around in the spring and summer, but are most noticeable in the autumn. | | | Frass (droppings) contribute to nutrient turnover by returning nutrients as fertilizer for the plants. |

| | Grasshoppers |
| | Grasshoppers can be a pest to farmers when they eat farm crops. | | | Grasshoppers breathe through holes, called spiracles, along the sides of the abdomen and the thorax. | | | Most kinds of grasshopper eat plants, but some long-horned grasshoppers also eat dead animals or catch and eat other insects. |

| | Grasshopper Management |
| | Grasshoppers are drawn to monocultures and dislike nitrogen-fixing crops like peas and sweet clover (8). | | | Grasshoppers breed and grow in weedy, undisturbed areas like roadside ditches, fence rows, untilled pastures, and in crops that stay around for more than a single growing season. | | | The long-term control of grasshoppers is possible through the use of cultural practices like tillage, fall clean-up, trap cropping, early seeding, and early harvest. |

| | These grasshoppers have been known to affect crop plants that are near the boundaries of the pine farms. | | | If cultivation is done too late the grasshoppers may actually be driven to the crops for a source of food. | | | The American grasshopper has two generations a year and overwinters in the adult stage, unlike most grasshoppers whose eggs survive the winter. |

| | Field Guide to Common Western Grasshoppers |
| | For placing grasshoppers in lower categories of classification, that is, in genus and species, one must resort to finer structures of their external anatomy and also to body size, shape, color, stripes, and patterns. | | | Phytophilous species of grasshoppers may not jump or fly to escape intruding scouts and insect collectors, but may shift their position away from the intruder to the opposite side of a stem, retreat deeper into the canopy, or drop to the ground. | | | An important component of grasshopper life history is the seasonal cycle - the timing of the periods of egg hatch, nymphal growth and development, emergence of the adults and acquisition of functional wings (fledging), and the deposition of eggs or reproduction. |
