Life Cycle of Cone-headed grasshopper
Egg The embryo develops within the egg. After laying by the adult cone-headed grasshopper, these eggs are often clustered in a protected location. They remain dormant until they hatch into nymphs, with size varying depending on species-specific characteristics.
Nymph Resembling miniature adults without wings, nymphs go through several molts, growing in size and gradually developing wing pads. They eat voraciously and are more colorful or patterned as they progress through their instars.
Adult Emerging from the final molt, the adult cone-headed grasshopper has fully formed wings and reproductive organs. Sexual dimorphism may be evident. Adults focus on mating and laying eggs, with their coloration often camouflaged for protection.

Agricultural Pests

When cone-headed grasshopper populations are low, they cause mild defoliation which usually doesn't impact crop yield. However, in high numbers, severe damage to leaves and stems can occur, leading to significant yield loss. This not only affects plant health and farmers' livelihoods but can also contribute to food scarcity.

Hurt Plant

Cone-headed grasshopper feeds on various plants, from leaves to fruits, inflicting damage as both an adult and nymph. This voracious feeding can range from mild to severe, potentially leading to defoliation, stunted growth, and compromised plant vigor.
