Some species may be known as stick grasshoppers or jumping sticks. Within the family Proscopiidae, there are 34 genera and 228 different species. [3] The proscopiids are herbivores and feed on a variety of plants in a variety of environmental conditions. Due to the insects being herbivores, they also have the ability to cause significant damage ...
Some grasshopper species, like the Chinese rice grasshopper, are a pest in rice paddies. Ploughing exposes the eggs on the surface of the field, to be destroyed by sunshine or eaten by natural enemies. Some eggs may be buried too deeply in the soil for hatching to take place. [85]
Pseudochorthippus parallelus [1] (often known by its synonym Chorthippus parallelus), the meadow grasshopper, [2] is a common species of grasshopper in the tribe Gomphocerini. [3] It is found in non-arid grasslands throughout the well vegetated areas of Europe and some adjoining areas of Asia.
Pyrgomorphidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera; it is the only family in the superfamily Pyrgomorphoidea. [1] Pyrgomorphidae are found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate regions (though none are from US mainland), [1] but the vast majority of the family's approximately 500 species are from Africa, Asia and Australia.

Acrididea including the Acridomorpha [3] is an infraorder of insects that describe the grasshoppers (thus also locusts) and ground-hoppers.It contains a large majority of species in the suborder Caelifera and the taxon Acridomorpha may also be used, which excludes the Tetrigoidea. [4]
Many undescribed species probably exist, especially in tropical forests. The Caelifera have a predominantly tropical distribution (as with most Orthoptera) with fewer species known from temperate climate zones. Caelifera are divided into two infraorders: the more basal Tridactylidea and the Acrididea or grasshopper-like species.
