Real-world information[edit]
Melanoplus sanguinipes, known generally as migratory grasshopper, is a species of spur-throated grasshopper in the family Acrididae. Other common names include the lesser migratory grasshopper and red-legged grasshopper. It is found in the Caribbean and North America.
It feeds on a variety of plants and can become a pest on crops and gardens. In winter, they stay buried in the ground as eggs and can survive like this for two generations. As its name implies, it is a migratory specie.
