The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish it from bush crickets or katydids, it is sometimes referred to as short-horned grasshoppers. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.
As food
In many places around the world, grasshoppers are eaten as a good source of protein. In Mexico for example chapulines are used as a snack or filling. It is served on skewers in Chinese food markets, like the Donghuamen Night Market
Raw grasshoppers should be eaten with caution, as they can contain tapeworms

I kneeled down to get a better look at a grasshopper on a log. He whirled around and stared back at me. So, I took a face shot.

A juvenile Grasshopper, love the bright green colours of these, quite well camouflaged on the leaves too.
He's giving his friend a piggyback ride! At least that's what mom used to tell us! Sure were a lot of critters who liked piggyback rides! LOL!
Grasshopper, taken at Yosemite National Park, this is about as far as I could see, as the smoke from nearby fires had all but blocked out all the light.

This is another one of the many grasshoppers that were in the hay field. This one had landed on a passionflower.
I visited RSPB Bar Mouth Hide - at the mouth of the river Bann for the first time today, the surrounding wetlands are great.
Instagram user @Martyd999 had spotted some Grasshopper warblers there the day before and thought it would be worth a visit. A kindly RSPB ranger pointed me to the right locale.
From RSPB:
Key information
The high, insect-like reeling song of the grasshopper warbler is the best clue to its presence. Even when you hear one it can be difficult to locate it due to the ventriloquial effect of its singing. If seen on migration it moves like a little mouse, creeping through the foliage. Dramatic population declines have made this a Red List species.
What they eat:
Insects
Measurements:
Length:12.5-13.5cm
Wingspan:15-19cm
Weight:11-16g
UK breeding:16,000 pairs

This is on the same wall as I took the photo of the tiny baby grasshopper a few weeks ago.
I would like to think it's baby all growed up !

I photographed this singing Grasshopper Sparrow along the Cedar Valley Nature Trail a few weeks ago while I was looking for the Yellow-breasted Chat. No Chat was seen on that day but a Grasshopper Sparrow was still a nice find. They, like other prairie birds, have seemingly increased in the county this year. I didn't see any Grasshopper Sparrows in Black Hawk County last year, but this year I've already seen seven or so separate individuals.
