Orthoptera | Orthoptera is a taxonomic order of [[insects]], which include [[grasshoppers]], [[crickets]], and [[locusts]]. | ||
The Orthoptera produce sounds by rubbing their wings or legs. (Usually, male Orthoptera make sounds to attract females during breeding time. Most of the time, females are silent.) The female Orthoptera hatch eggs in the ground and in plants. The Orthoptera are dioecious species (“two houses” in Greek). To produce the eggs, both male and female are needed and they need to breed together. They are hemimetabolous, which means they undergo [[incomplete metamorphosis]] (i.e. instead of a [[pupa]] stage the young look like small adults).
