Grasshoppers usually have large eyes, and are colored to blend into their surroundings, usually a combination of brown, gray or green. In some species men have bright colors on their wings that they use to attract females. Some species eat toxic plants, and keep toxins in their bodies for protection. They are brightly colored to warn predators that they taste bad. The female locusts are larger than males and have a sharp point at the end of their existing abdomen to help them lay their eggs underground. Grasshopper Men sometimes have special structures for their wings that they rub their hind legs or rub together to make sound.
