• About 600 species of grasshoppers occur in the United States.
• A grasshopper can leap 20 times the length of its own body.
• A grasshopper has five eyes: two large compound eyes, on each side of the head, and three small single eyes–one above the base of each antenna, and one below and midway between the two antennae.
• Each year grasshoppers destroy at least $80,000,000 (that’s 80 million!) worth of crops in the U.S.
