With its long hind legs and impressive leaps, the grasshopper is a familiar insect in gardens and meadows. It is recognizable by its elongated body, thin antennae, and green color that allows it to camouflage itself among the vegetation.
A herbivore, it feeds primarily on leaves, grasses, and flowers. Surprisingly, the grasshopper is also known for its "song" produced by rubbing its wings or hind legs together, a sound used to attract other members of the species and mark its territory. Thanks to its ability to jump up to 20 times its body length, it easily evades predators and moves quickly from one plant to another.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the grasshopper: powerful legs, fine antennae and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of garden animals, invent stories in the heart of nature or to educate children about the diversity and surprising behaviors of insects.
