Grasshopper Life Cycle and Metamorphosis

The video explains the life cycle of a grasshopper, starting from an egg laid in the soil. Once hatched, it becomes a nymph, resembling a small grasshopper but without wings or reproductive structures. As the nymph grows, it molts several times, gradually developing wings and adult features. Eventually, it becomes an adult grasshopper, ready to reproduce and lay eggs. Unlike butterflies, grasshoppers undergo incomplete metamorphosis, meaning they do not experience a complete change in body form.
