Life Cycle of Seaside grasshopper
Egg The seaside grasshopper's life starts as an egg, often laid in soil. The egg is small, hardly visible, and protected by a hard shell to withstand the environment.
Nymph Upon hatching, the seaside grasshopper nymph appears as a miniature adult without wings. Through successive molts, the nymph grows, increases in size and gradually develops wing buds.
Adult Emerging from the last nymphal stage, the adult seaside grasshopper exhibits fully developed wings and pronounced coloration. The body is larger, and the seaside grasshopper now focuses on mating and laying eggs.

Habitat Preferences of Seaside grasshopper Through Different Life Stages
During the egg stage, seaside grasshopper lay their eggs in pods below the soil surface in dry habitats. Nymphs emerge and are commonly found in similar habitats where vegetation is sparse, as they require exposure to sunshine for growth. Finally, adult seaside grasshopper inhabit coastal dunes and grasslands, preferring sandy soils where they can easily camouflage with their surroundings. To find these stages, search in semi-arid to arid regions with a presence of grasses, focusing on areas with minimal plant cover for nymphs and sparsely vegetated sandy areas for adults.

How and Where Can You Find Seaside grasshopper at Different Life Stages
Nymph Seaside grasshopper nymphs are smaller, wingless, and can be found in dense vegetation, eating plants. Searching for them can be done by inspecting grassy areas and looking under leaves or near the ground.
As seaside grasshopper grows into sub-adulthood, they may start to develop wings. They can often be found in similar habitats as the nymphs but may be more active and visible. Careful observation of grassy areas and slow movement will help in spotting them.
Adult Adult seaside grasshopper are fully winged and more mobile, making them slightly more challenging to spot. Listening for their characteristic chirping, which males use to attract females, can help locate them. They could be found on plants, on the ground, or during short flights from spot to spot in grassy or sandy areas typical to their habitat.
