Life Cycle of Sierra grasshopper
Egg The eggs of sierra grasshopper are laid in groups in the soil. They are oval and typically protected with a hard outer casing. During this stage, embryonic development occurs culminating in the hatchlings ready to emerge.
Nymph Upon hatching, the nymph version of sierra grasshopper resembles a miniature adult but without fully developed wings. Growth involves molting multiple times, with each instar increasing in size and the development of wing pads.
Adult Emerging from the final molt, the adult sierra grasshopper has fully formed wings and reproductive organs. It exhibits sexual dimorphism with males typically displaying brighter colors. The primary focus during this stage is on mating and laying eggs.
