There are many families of grasshoppers, all of them belong to the order Orthoptera (order is a level above family) ^^
Arthropod
The group of animals that the grasshoppers belong to are the orthoptera. Other insects in this group are locusts, katydids, and crickets.
Insecta class
Spider, crayfish, grasshopper, tick, and butterfly all belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which is characterized by exoskeletons, segmented bodies, and jointed appendages. Specifically, spiders are part of the class Arachnida, crayfish belong to the class Malacostraca within the subphylum Crustacea, grasshoppers and butterflies are part of the class Insecta, with grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera and butterflies in the order Lepidoptera. Ticks, like spiders, are also classified under Arachnida.
Green grasshoppers are of the Dichromorpha viridis species. There are about 11,000 species of grasshoppers. Grasshoppers, katydids, and locusts belong to an order of insects called Orthoptera.
No, grasshoppers are not chordates. They belong to the phylum Arthropoda and class Insecta, which means they are insects. Chordates, on the other hand, are part of the phylum Chordata and are characterized by features such as a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and pharyngeal slits at some stage of their development. Grasshoppers do not possess these characteristics, thus placing them outside the chordate group.
No, a grasshopper is not a reptile. Grasshoppers belong to the class Insecta, while reptiles belong to the class Reptilia. Grasshoppers are insects, characterized by their six legs and wings, while reptiles are vertebrate animals that have scales, breathe air, and lay eggs.
No, grasshoppers have exoskeletons. That means their skeleton is on the outside, like a crab or lobster.
Grasshoppers do not nest. The scientific classification of grasshoppers include the Animalia kingdom, Arthropoda phylum, Insecta class, Orthoptera order, and Caelifera suborder.
Tigers belong to Class Mammalia.
Opossums belong to the class mammalia.
