A grasshopper is a "true locust". It is a member of the class "Orthoptera", the straight wing insect group including mantids, walking sticks, crickets, cockroaches, and katydids. The grasshoppers are considered the "Short Horned Orthopterans".

In appearance they have six legs,wings flat against their body, and their rear legs are very large, and used for hopping, sometimes, on the ground, and sometimes to take flight. The have short antennae, and large compound eyes.

Their mouth parts are constructed for eating vegetation, and they sometimes migrate in swarms, wiping out large masses of wheat, and other crops.

Tropidacris holds the largest sized locusts. All indigenous in South America, where they are often misidentified as "Giant Crickets". A grasshopper rubs it's legs together to emit a sound.
