In which season are grasshoppers born?

Grasshoppers are born in summer. Their scientific name is locust. Locusts are insects of the family Acrididae and the order Orthoptera. Commonly known as "grasshoppers", there are many species, with more than 10,000 species worldwide. They are distributed in tropical and temperate grasslands and deserts around the world. They have hard mouthparts, narrow and tough front wings that cover the hind wings, which are very thin and suitable for flying. Their hind limbs are well developed and they are good at jumping. They mainly harm plants in the Gramineae family and are agricultural pests.

What are the distinctive features of grasshoppers?

The most notable feature of grasshoppers is that they maintain their gregariousness and live in groups. Female grasshoppers usually choose hard soil, high humidity and direct sunlight to lay eggs. They often lay eggs in large numbers and need a higher body temperature to promote and adapt to the active physiological functions. Grasshoppers have a hard exoskeleton on their bodies, which mainly protects and supports the soft organs inside and prevents the evaporation of water in the body. This is one of the characteristics of adapting to life on land. The exoskeleton cannot grow with the growth of the locust's body, so the locust must undergo multiple molting during its growth and development.

Do grasshoppers bite?

It depends on the situation. Grasshoppers will not bite people under normal circumstances, but they may bite people when there is a locust plague. Grasshoppers are insects that feed on plants. They may bite people because they mistake humans for plants and attack. Generally speaking, as long as you don't actively provoke grasshoppers, they will not attack humans.
