Frequently asked questions

What colors does a grasshopper have?
Most grasshoppers are green or brown, so they don't stand out in the grass.
Are the back legs always that big?
Yes, because with those strong back legs they can jump very far and high!
What if my lines are not perfectly straight?
That doesn't matter at all, in nature nothing is perfectly straight either!
Do all grasshoppers have wings?
Many species do, they use them to go even further after a big jump.
