    Grasshoppers are members of the phylum Arthropoda. Grasshoppers belong to the phylum arthropods and to the class insects. There are more than 900,000 species of insects. They are mainly land animals and occupy almost every environment on land. The development of wings gave grasshoppers advantages over other land invertebrates. They could spread out into new areas, they could search larger areas for food, and they were able to fly away and escape from predators.

    Grasshoppers have an exoskeleton composed of chitin. They have three pairs of jointed legs. The front pair are used for walking, climbing, and holding food. The middle pair are used for walking and climbing. The back pair of legs are used for jumping. There are three distinct body regions, the head, the thorax, and abdomen. The head is used for eating and sensing, the thorax is used for



    movement, and the abdomen has the digestive and reproductive organs. Two pairs of wings are attached to the thorax. Grasshoppers have one pair of antennae that is used for sensing, one pair of large compound eyes that detect movement, and three simple eyes that detect light and dark. Tympanum, or eardrums, on the thorax are used for hearing. The grasshopper's spiracles and air tubes provide a way for getting oxygen into the body and removing waste gasses from the body. Grasshoppers lay a large number of eggs, and the eggs hatch very quickly. This allows the grasshopper population to increase rapidly.
