| So... What are Grasshoppers? Adult grasshoppers may be green, yellow or brown and up to 2" in length. The long, strong hind legs, perhaps the most recognizable feature of the adult grasshopper, allows the grasshopper to travel distances in search of food. Reproduction Patterns of Grasshoppers 
Eggs are laid in late summer and will survive the winter if left undisturbed. In the mid to late spring, hatching occurs and tiny miniature grasshoppers known as nymphs emerge. The nymphs go through several developmental stages during the next month or two before becoming an adult grasshopper. Near the end of summer, female adult grasshoppers will lay her eggs - up to 400 eggs when conditions are favorable! These are the eggs that will hatch in the spring. Both female and male adults will live and feed until the cold of the approaching winter kills them. Grasshopper's Habitat Grasshoppers can be found throughout North America in gardens, fields, woodlands, and basically any other area with vegetation. Because they can live and travel to a variety of areas in search of food, they can be difficult to control. If one area doesn't suit them, they can simply go to another garden or field until they find one they prefer. Even if you get rid of the present population in your garden or field, others may follow in a short while, causing frustrations for gardeners and farmers alike.
