IIt is common for us to know that diverse life has an understanding of differences in both form and nature. In this case, diversity in the aspect of species is based on the number of populations of the species that are formed, interacting with one another.

What about the elements in the grasshopper's body?

The pronotum situated just behind the head is a prominent, saddle-shaped structure with lateral lobes that hide nearly all of the propleura. The pronotum has many distinctive features useful in separating both genera and species of grasshoppers. The integument (skin) may be nearly smooth in some species and rough and wrinkled in others. The dorsum or disk of the pronotum is divided into left and right halves by a longitudinal ridge, the median carina. The ridge varies among species from barely visible to a conspicuously high crest. Transverse furrows run across the disk and down the lateral lobes. These furrows, known as sulci, cut into the median carina and divide the disk into zones, the prozona in front and the metazona in the rear. In many species only one sulcus cuts the median carina while in others two or three sulci cut the median carina. The hind sulcus is considered the principal sulcus; from its position the length of the prozona and metazona are measured. Grasshoppers Of Wyoming And The Westsource

The head of the grasshopper is a hard capsule that contains large muscles, which operate the chewing mouthparts, and the brain and subesophageal ganglion, which serve as the main centers of the nervous system. Prominent on the outside of the capsule are a pair of antennae, two large compound eyes, and the downward directed mouthparts. The antennae of grasshoppers are usually filiform (threadlike) but they may have other shapes, such as ensiform (broad at base, narrowing to tip) or clavate (expanded at tip). Compound eyes vary in shape and protuberance. They are usually somewhat round but may be elliptical in grasshoppers with strongly slanted faces.

Then every animal species will be influenced by every particular group of species. What about food or needs in this case as a sample is grasshoppers. Of course, to meet the food is very influenced by the environment of the grasshopper.

So that it will affect the body of the grasshopper. This green leaf grasshopper is the Orthoptera group. Of course this can mean straight wings, insects belonging to this order have the characteristics and style when folding their wings, at rest the green leaf stripes will straighten their wings over the body.
