CATDOLL: What do grasshoppers eat?

1. What do grasshoppers eat?

Grasshoppers mainly eat plant leaves, especially rice leaves, which are a pure natural and pollution-free green food. They also like to eat crops such as corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, rice, sorghum, barley, reeds, barnyard grass, white grass, dogtooth grass, shrimp grass, sea salis and some Artemisia plants.

Grasshoppers are also known as grasshoppers, oil grasshoppers, and grasshoppers. They belong to the order Locusta in the order Orthoptera. They are usually green, brown, or black, with large heads and short antennae. The pronotum is hard and extends to the left and right like a saddle. The mesothorax and metathorax are fused and cannot move.

The legs are strong, especially the hind legs, and the exoskeleton is hard, making it an expert in jumping. The tibia also has sharp saw spines, which are effective defensive weapons. The ovipositor does not have obvious protrusions, which is the biggest difference from katydids. It likes to eat thick leaves, such as sweet tofu and water spinach.

How to control grasshoppers:

To prevent and control grasshoppers, it is best to do it when they are larvae. Before the grasshoppers hatch, they should be mixed with malathion crude oil and fine soil and spread. This will poison and kill the grasshopper larvae. Alternatively, you can also use malathion plus cypermethrin to spray and kill them or use poison bait to kill them. Generally, the effect of killing by trapping is better.

Controlling grasshopper larvae can reduce the harm of adult grasshoppers. However, when using pesticides, we should also pay attention to avoid harming beneficial insects, such as frogs and some predatory beetle natural enemies. It is generally not recommended to use pesticides to control adult insects, as they will develop drug resistance.
