Grasshoppers are insects with big, powerful back legs made for jumping. They can leap 20 times the length of their own body! That would be like you jumping from one end of a basketball court to the other. Grasshoppers are usually green or brown so they can hide in the grass.
Grasshoppers love to munch on plants and grass. Some grasshoppers make music by rubbing their legs against their wings. You can often hear them chirping on a warm summer day. They have five eyes, which helps them watch out for birds and other animals that want to eat them.
