Answer;

They have little claws at the end of their feet/legs


Step-by-step explanation;

-Grasshoppers are long, slender, winged insects with powerful hind legs and strong mandibles, or mouth parts, adapted for chewing.

-They have a front pair of rigid wings and a hind pair of larger, membranous wings, often brightly colored.

-The ends of legs modified for holding on to plants in grasshoppers, by having little claws at the end of the legs.

-The third pair of legs they are bigger, more muscular with spring like tendon to help in jumping.
