Detailed explanation-1: -Grasshoppers are hemimetabolous insects. Hence, their life cycle consists of three stages – the egg, the nymph, and the adult. This type of life cycle, where there are three stages is called incomplete metamorphosis; on the other hand, a complete metamorphosis has four distinct stages.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Female Grasshoppers lay the fertilized eggs in the form of Egg Pods by mid-summer, usually more than 10, either in the sand or in the litter of the leaves. Each Egg Pod consists of roughly 10-300 rice-shaped eggs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grasshoppers, crickets, dragonflies, and cockroaches have incomplete metamorphosis. The young (called a nymph) usually look like small adults but without the wings. Butterflies, moths, beetles, flies and bees have complete metamorphosis. The young (called a larva instead of a nymph) is very different from the adults.
