Question 13 to 16
Crickets
Well, crickets live in almost every environment. They are found in fields and meadows, forests and grasslands, marshes and swamps, trees and bushes, and even caves, beaches, in anthills and underground.
Crickets use their long antennae to sense things around them, but also to detect smells. Crickets use their simple eyes to detect light and shadow. They have complex eyes which are made up of many hexagonal lenses. They can see in every direction. They eat decaying plant matter and seedlings.
Did you know that crickets are usually black or brown? The average cricket is about 2.54 cm long. Crickets can jump 20 to 30 times their height. Crickets use jumping with their legs as their main mode of transportation even though they have wings.
I hope the information is useful for you.

Grasshoppers
Grasshopper, any of a group of jumping insects (suborder Caelifera) that are found in a variety of habitats. There are around 11,000 known species of grasshoppers in the Caelifera suborder.
Okay, let me continue. Grasshoppers are ground-dwelling insects with the ability to jump long distances to evade threats. Grasshoppers occur in greatest numbers in lowland tropical forests, semiarid regions, and grasslands. Grasshoppers are herbivorous. They eat plants and other types of vegetation.
Well, grasshoppers can be identified by their two antennas, four small legs, two enlarged legs and elongated shape. A grasshopper’s jump, assisted with its wings, can reach a speed of up to eight miles per hour. A large grasshopper can jump between 10 and 20 times its body length without the aid of its wings. Grasshoppers are commonly brown and green or a mixture of the two. However, there are some species of grasshoppers that have a wide range of vivid colors, like the rainbow grasshopper.
