Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Some species of grasshopper are capable of producing a foul smelling substance from glands near the mouth, which puts off predators, and tastes so vile that the grasshopper is often dropped without damage.

Camouflage is, as stated, one of the principal protections however, but grasshoppers are capable of a violent kick which is often enough to startle a predator sufficiently to enable the grasshopper to jump to a safe distance.

The jump is also a good defence, as it happens so quickly, it is difficult to determine in which direction and distance which the insect jumped.
