#7 Grasshoppers are most often green.
This color helps them camouflage themselves in foliage to make it easier to get food.
They have a movable head with sharp jaws. Powerful hind legs, short front legs. Incredibly long mustache, which locusts do not have.
The locust body is brown or yellow, although it can be green, brown, gray. Antennae are short, as long as the head. The hind legs are shorter but stronger. Hopefully, now it became clear how to distinguish a grasshopper.
#8 Insects living in a temperate climatic zone begin to “make friends” in late spring, early summer.
During this period, you can hear which roulades are poured by males.
Their seminal fluid is stored in a capsule covered with a nutrient mixture.
During mating, they attach the capsule to the female's abdomen. She begins to feast on the bait mixture, and at this time fertilization occurs.
Then a clutch is made, which can contain from 100 to 1000 eggs. It can be found everywhere: on branches, stems, in bark, etc.
#9 After a while, larvae appear, similar to grasshoppers, only miniature.
They grow, molt. Molting can be 4-8 times. At this stage, wings appear. After the last molt, the grasshopper waits for the full restoration of its wings and embarks on a journey called life.
