It is found in grassy areas worldwide.
What does it eat?
Grasshoppers are herbivores that feed on a variety of plants.
How does it breathe?
Grasshoppers along with other insects use tracheal breathing.
They exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between their tissues and the air through a system of tubes.
Fun fact:
Grasshoppers have ears on their abdomen.
Hind leg-
Abdomen- tail area of a grasshopper (contains heart, digestive system, reproductive organs)
Antennae- sense and touch environment
Hind legs- used to jump
Walking legs- used to walk
Thorax- mid area, where legs and wings attach
Wings- used for flying
Eye- made up of hexagonal lenses
Using forceps, remove one of the walking legs and identify these parts --- the coxa connects the femur (the thickest part of the leg) to the grasshopper's body; a slender, spiny tibia connects the femur to the tarsal segments (lowest part of the leg). Raise both pairs of wings and locate the first abdominal segment.
