I love grasshoppers. I learned in school that they've been around for about 250 million years?
Oh really! Their long legs freak me out! 
Their legs are kind of gross. I remember reading that grasshoppers need them to escape from predators.
I could understand that! They also have wings to escape from predators. I wonder what their predators are other than birds.
Maybe frogs? They also have freakish legs. I ate frog legs once - I wonder what grasshopper legs taste like?
Grass?
Frog legs are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and potassium. They are often said to taste like chicken because of their mild flavor, with a texture most similar to chicken wings. The taste and texture of frog meat is approximately between chicken and fish. Frogs are raised commercially in certain countries, for example Vietnam. Frog muscles do not resolve rigor mortis as quickly as muscles from warm-blooded animals (chicken, for example) do, so heat from cooking can cause fresh frog legs
Grasshopper
Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is probably the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. 
Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which allow them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. As hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis; they hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect
