Description

Grasshopper with a strange face looking upwards photographed in Enk�ping (Enkoping, Enkoeping) Sweden on August 10 2014 with a Canon 5D mk III.
The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish it from bush short-horned grasshoppercrickets or katydids, it is sometimes referred to as the . Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.
In certain countries, grasshoppers are eaten as a good source of protein. In southern Mexico for example, chapulines are regarded for their high content of protein, minerals and vitamins. They are usually collected at dusk, using lamps or electric lighting, in sweep nets. Sometimes they are placed in water for 24 hours, after which they can be boiled or eaten raw, sun-dried, fried, flavoured with spices, such as garlic, onions, chile, drenched in lime, and used in soup or as a filling for various dishes. They are abundant in Central and Southern Mexican food and street markets.

They are served on skewers in some Chinese food markets, like the Donghuamen Night Market.[5]

In some countries in Africa, #grasshoppers are an important #food source, as are other insects, adding proteins and fats to the daily diet, especially in times of food crisis. They are often used in soup. The "grasshoppers" eaten in Uganda and neighbouring areas are called nsenene, but they are in fact bush crickets, also called katydids.

In some countries in the Middle East, grasshoppers are boiled in hot water with salt, left in the sun to dry then eaten as snacks.[citation needed]

Many insects #eat grasshoppers including many types of ants, like those in the genus Crematogaster
