Expert Solution
GRASSHOPPER

INTRODUCTION-
Jumping insects belonging to the grasshopper group (suborder Caelifera) are found in a range of habitats. The lowland tropical woods, semiarid areas, and grasslands are where grasshoppers are most common. They can have yellow or red markings and are available in a variety of colours, from green to olive or brown.

The two most significant pests commercially, in the United States, grasshoppers are a significant native element of grassland ecosystems, contributing to the cycling of nutrients and providing a vital source of food for wildlife.

SIGNIFICANCE-
The grasshopper aids in plant decay and regeneration, establishing a balance between the various plant species that survive, which benefits both people and the ecology as a whole. The amount of plant life that grasshoppers eat, despite their small size, has an impact on the kinds of plants that eventually emerge.
