Orthoptera are an order of insects. (Grasshoppers, crickets, and locusts are example insects of Orthoptera.) Phylum of the Orthoptera is Arthropoda, because they can be distinguish head, chest, and belly. Also, they are enclosed in outer covering skin. | |||
The Orthoptera produce sound by rubbing their wings or legs. (Usually, male Orthoptera make sounds to attract females during breeding time. Females are silent.) The female Orthoptera hatch eggs in the ground and in plants. The Orthoptera are dioecious species (“two houses” in Greek). They are hemimetabolous species. In other words, they do not have pupa stage, but they look like small adult. | |||
They have ears on front legs. The grasshoppers and locusts have short antennae, but the crickets have long antennae. [http://www.earthlife.net/insects/orthopta.html] | |||
