Young grasshoppers are usually recognized at once by their general resemblance to the adults, though lacking wings; that is to say, they have the same general form, with large hind legs which enable them to leap suddenly to some distance; and on the under side of the head, which is much larger in proportion to the body than in the mature insect, the chewing jaws are readily seen.^ Development of the Young. The young grasshopper or cricket acquires the adult form and structure by a series of steps or stages, six in number, which are recognizable with a little trouble by the degree of develop- ment of the wings.
