What is the difference between grasshoppers and locusts?

All insects in the superfamily Acridoidea can be called locusts. The superfamily Acridoidea includes 8 families. The grasshoppers we usually call are mainly locusts in the family Acrididae and the genus Acridoidea in the family Acridoidea. (The classification levels used above are from large to small: superfamily - family - genus).

Grasshoppers are smaller, locusts are larger, and grasshoppers are also grasshoppers. Grasshoppers (zhameng) (Acrida) are invertebrates, Insecta, Orthoptera, Acrididae, and Tetrigoidea. The most common grasshopper in my country is the Chinese grasshopper (Acrida chinensis). The female is larger than the male, with a green or yellow-brown body, a pointed head, and a conical shape; the antennae are short, and there are obvious compound eyes at the base. The hind legs are well developed and good at jumping. When flying, they can make a "zaza" sound. If you hold the two hind legs with your hands, you can jump up and down. Chewing mouthparts, harming grass plants. They are mostly scattered around the edges of fields and in the grass. There are more in southern provinces. Locusts (huang) are invertebrates, Insecta, Orthoptera, Acrididae. The body is generally slender, divided into three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen, and the body surface is covered with a layer of tough exoskeleton. The body color is green or yellow-brown. Chewing mouthparts. The hind legs are strong and suitable for jumping. The female insect is relatively large, with a short and curved ovipositor at the end of the body, which is used to dig the soil to lay eggs. The eggs are in clumps. The nymphs are generally called "hoppers" because of incomplete metamorphosis. The newly hatched nymphs are wingless and can only jump, so they are commonly known as "jumping hoppers". They need to undergo 5 molts to gradually develop into adults with two pairs of wings. The morphological structure and living habits of nymphs and adults are similar, and they have the same feeding habits. They eat a lot and mainly harm grass plants. There are many species, about 10,000 species in the world, and more than 300 species in my country.
