  By James Weeks
  School: fessenden
Scientific classification
•   Kingdom: Animala
•   Phylum : Arthropoda
•   Subphylum : Hexapoda
•   Class: Insecta
•   Order : Orthopera
•   Suborder : Caelifera
Appearance
• Small winged insect with large back legs
• Comes in many colors like brown and green
Habitat
• Grasshoppers live
  EVERYWHERE !
• Grasshoppers are
  found on all
  continents except
  Antarctica
• They prefer dry open
  habitats with lots of
  grass and other low
  plants
Life cycle
• Grasshoppers go
  from an egg to
  nymph and finally
  an adult.
• It takes about 9
  weeks for a
  grasshopper to
  become an adult
Diet and digestion
         • Grasshoppers are
           herbivores. They eat
           a range of grasses,
           leaves and cereal
           crops.
         • A grasshopper’s
           digestive system
           include a foregut and
           a hindgut. The foregut
           is the mouth area and
           the hindgut is the anal
           region.
Predators
• Some predators of the grasshopper are
  birds, blister beetles, squash bugs and
  cucumber beetles.
• Humans also eat grasshoppers in many
  places around the world.
How grasshoppers help
• They keep plant life under control
• They are a source of food
How we affect grasshoppers
• We continue to build
  on their habitats
• We use them in
  science
• We eat them as a
  food source.
• We step on them
How we can help
• Don’t step on them
• When you see one
  leave it alone
• Preserve their habitat
COOL FACTS
The grasshopper uses his wings to glide,
not fly
Some grasshoppers will jump 200 times
their length in one jump.
You can determine the temperature based
on the chirping of grasshoppers.
There are over 10,000 known species of
grasshoppers

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. If you hear a grasshopper chirping, count how many times he chirps in 15 seconds. Add 39 to that number. That is the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees. However, grasshoppers will usually stop chirping when the weather is below 55 degrees or so.
