Grasshopper is a herbivorous insect of the suborder of Caelifera in Orthoptera order. This insect has an antenna that is almost always shorter than its body and also has a short ovipositor. The voices generated by some grasshopper species are usually produced by rubbing the rear femur against the front or abdominal wings (called abstracts), or by flapping their wings while flying. The rear femur is generally long and strong which is suitable for jumping.
These insects are generally winged, although their wings are sometimes unavailable to fly. The female locusts are generally larger than the male mantis.
In Islamic Religion, Grasshopper is one of the two animals that when it first dies is still lawful to eat.
