- And much much much much rather feed you brandy with my mouth which hasn't done so much smiling since I was knee-high to a grasshopper and didn't know just how much fun this life could be.
- Downland breeding species such as the Dartford Warbler, Grasshopper Warbler, Stonechat, Wheatear, and Stone Curlew used to be found in areas now covered by residential and industrial development, and some species dependent on beaches have been severely reduced, such as the Little Tern and the Ringed Plover.
- The loss of much of the characteristic gorse scrub has reduced Stonechats and Dartford Warblers and possibly Grasshopper Warblers, although the latter have quickly exploited the new habitat afforded by young forestry plantations.
- In his book Defence in Animals , Malcolm Edmunds cites the African grasshopper Phymateus which relies upon camouflage for primary defence but produces a dramatic warning display once a predator approaches, opening its orange and crimson hind wings and exuding a noxious fluid.
- Keller's Zurich upbringing made him into a skiier and sculler, and he raced for the Grasshopper club.
- They have favoured the marked expansion of the Woodcock on the Downs in recent years, and also provide the Grasshopper Warbler and Yellowhammer with one of their principal nesting habitats.

- He had previously written listing them: "Pierrot in a wishy washy thing called St Valentine's Eve a man in Our Lady's Mercy , a grasshopper in Carnaval des Animaux and a man in some Russian thing."
- Below right: Brabham BT55 used lie-flat BMW turbo and was knee-high to a grasshopper, but was never half as fast as it looked
- Perhaps this is the reason for the bashfully truncated picture of the F/A-18 which, although admittedly showing the aircraft's refined canopy shape successfully developed from the grasshopper's eye concept, plays down the disappointing lack of progress in the other aspects mentioned.
