GRASSHOPPER

Grasshoppers are insects. People also called them short-horned grasshopper because they do not have any nose. We can find about 10,000 different species in many different parts of the world.

Like most insects, they lay eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they change into nymphs. They look like little adults, but don't have any wings and reproductive organs. The outer layer of their body will get harder when they grow older. Grasshoppers' colors are mostly green, brown, or olive-green.

A grasshopper's body is covered by a hard exoskeleton. It consists of the head, thorax, and abdomen. Grasshoppers have a series of holes located along the side of the body. They are called spiracles. Spiracles help grasshoppers to breathe.

Grasshoppers are able to hop, walk, and fly. They hop with their long hind legs. They use their short front legs to grasp their prey and to walk. When grasshoppers rub their back legs together, they will make noise.

Grasshoppers eat plants. In the ecosystem, their predators include birds, insects, and reptiles. Grasshoppers' eggs are also eaten by some flies.

An earthworm uses its pointed head end to dig a hole in the soil. It searches for loose soil and forces the soil apart. Slowly, the worm draws the rest of its body until it disappears into the hole. The earthworm has many narrow rings which enable it to change shape.

The earthworm will eat the soil if it is too hard to be pushed aside. It opens up channels through which air can enter by burrowing into the soil. Because of this, the soil will be oxygenated. The roots of plants planted in that soil can breathe. In this way earthworms can act as gardeners and cultivators of the soil.
