How long can a insect live without food?
The suborder Caelifera has herbivorous insects.They are sometimes referred to as short-horned grasshoppers.Locusts are species that change colour and behavior.
An insect can leap 20 times the length of its body.We would be able to jump almost 40 yards if you or I could do that.
A dog does not jump.They use their legs as a catapult.When flying, the gnats can reach a speed of 8 miles per hour.There are thousands of different species of insects.
Medium to large insects are the gnats.Depending on the species, adult length is 1 to 7 centimetres.They have chewing mouthparts, two pairs of wings, one narrow and tough, the other wide and flexible, and long hind legs.They have short antennae that do not reach very far back on their bodies.
Large eyes, brown, grey or green, are the colors of the cocks, and they blend into their environment.Males in some species use bright colors on their wings to attract females.Some species keep the toxins in their bodies by eating toxic plants.They are bright colors to warn other people that they taste bad.
Females are larger than males and have points at the end of their abdomen that help them lay eggs underground.There are special structures on the wings of males that they rub together to make sounds.
Most of the world can be found with the exception of regions near the North and South poles.
The horns of the gnats are determined by the length of their feelers.Locusts are short-horned grasshoppers.
There are generous amounts of food to eat in the fields and meadow where the gnats live.An average small grasshopper can eat 16 times its own weight and is so small you wouldn't think they would eat much.
Grasses, leaves and cereals are the favourite foods of the grasshopper.The Shorthorn grasshopper only eats plants, but it can go crazy and eat every plant in sight, making you wander where they put it all.
