A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Grasshoppers undergo incomplete metamorphosis, which means that their immature forms, called nymphs, look somewhat similar to the adults. The most obvious difference between adult grasshoppers and the nymphs is that the nymphs lack mature wings and thus cannot fly (and so are easier to photograph). Grasshopper nymphs look similar to katydid nymphs, but grasshopper nymphs can be distinguished by their much shorter antennae.
