The Grasshopper

The grasshopper has three body parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. On its
head are found the eyes, the mouth parts, and the two antennae. The wings and the legs
are attached to the thorax.
Do you know why this insect is called a grasshopper? It lives where there plenty of
grasses. It jumps and hops from one blade of grass to another. It has six legs – two big
legs that have sharp thorns. The grasshopper can jump high because of its strong, long
legs.
The grasshopper has four wings – two upper or outer wings and two lower ones.
The outer wings that are hard and stiff spread out straight when the grasshopper flies.
When it is flying, it is a beautiful sight with its soft wings spread out like a fan. These wings
are the two lower ones. They are soft and thin. They are the ones that produce a

of the new lesson The grasshopper has big eyes. Its eyes cover almost all the two sides of its head.
They are called compound eyes. They are so-called because they are made up of
thousands of little eyes. They enable the grasshopper to see far objects.
The grasshopper eats grass. When it begins to eat, it uses its two front teeth to hold
the grass. Grasshoppers are great eaters of leaves and plants. They are very destructive
to our plants especially rice. But it does not store food like ants.
The grasshopper has no lungs. It has a series of air holes in the covering of its
body.
Air flows to these holes. All the tubes and other spaces in its body are always filled with
air. When the grasshopper drops into a body of water it easily drowns because water
rapidly enters these spaces?
If you happen to catch a grasshopper, observe its parts.
