A Grasshopper Leaping Over Grass

The insect is shown in mid-leap above a thick patch of tall grass in a sunny meadow. Its jointed hind legs, folded wings, segmented body, and two long antennae are easy to identify, making the jumping motion the main event of the scene.

How Grasshoppers Move Through Meadows

A grasshopper launches itself by rapidly straightening its powerful back legs. Many species can also fly after jumping, using the leap to get into the air or to escape danger among the grasses.

The enlarged hind legs contain strong muscles that provide the force for jumping. The smaller legs help with walking, climbing, and holding onto plants.
What are the long antennae used for?

What do grasshoppers usually eat?
Most grasshoppers feed mainly on leaves, stems, and other plant material. Different species prefer different kinds of vegetation.
