Editing Grasshopper (section)

===In art and media===
Grasshoppers are occasionally depicted in artworks, such as the [[Dutch Golden Age]] painter [[Balthasar van der Ast]]'s [[still life]] oil painting, ''Flowers in a Vase with Shells and Insects'', c. 1630, now in the [[National Gallery, London]], though the insect may be a bush-cricket.<ref>{{cite web|title=Flowers in a Vase with Shells and Insects|url=http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/balthasar-van-der-ast-flowers-in-a-vase-with-shells-and-insects|publisher=The National Gallery|access-date=31 March 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402092300/http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/balthasar-van-der-ast-flowers-in-a-vase-with-shells-and-insects|archive-date=2 April 2015}}</ref>

Another orthopteran is found in [[Rachel Ruysch]]'s still life ''Flowers in a Vase'', c. 1685. The seemingly static scene is animated by a "grasshopper on the table that looks about ready to spring", according to the gallery curator Betsy Wieseman, with other invertebrates including a spider, an ant, and two caterpillars.<ref>{{cite web |title=Flowers in a Vase |url=http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/rachel-ruysch-flowers-in-a-vase |publisher=The National Gallery |access-date=31 March 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402124951/http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/rachel-ruysch-flowers-in-a-vase |archive-date=2 April 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The National Gallery Podcast: Episode Nineteen |url=http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/podcasts/the-national-gallery-podcast-episode-nineteen |publisher=The National Gallery |access-date=31 March 2015 |date=May 2008 |quote=Betsy Wieseman: Well, there are two caterpillars that I can see. I particularly like the one right in the foreground that's just dangling from his thread and looking to land somewhere. It's this wonderful little suggestion of movement. There's a grasshopper on the table that looks about ready to spring to the other side and then nestled up between the rose and the peony is a wonderful spider and an ant on the petals of the rose. |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402103240/http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/podcasts/the-national-gallery-podcast-episode-nineteen |archive-date=2 April 2015 }}</ref>

Grasshoppers are also featured in cinema. The 1957 film ''[[Beginning of the End (film)|Beginning of the End]]'' portrayed giant grasshoppers attacking [[Chicago]].<ref name="Senn2007">{{cite book |author=Senn, Bryan |title=A Year of Fear: A Day-by-Day Guide to 366 Horror Films |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WJ6vBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA109 |year=2007 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=978-0-7864-3196-0 |page=109 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171127023308/https://books.google.com/books?id=WJ6vBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA109 |archive-date=27 November 2017 }}</ref> In the 1998 [[Disney]]/[[Pixar]] animated film ''[[A Bug's Life]]'', the antagonists are a gang of grasshoppers, with their leader Hopper serving as the main villain.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Parihar |first1=Parth |title=A Bug's Life: Colonial Allegory |url=https://princetonbuffer.princeton.edu/2014/01/04/a-bugs-life-colonial-allegory/ |publisher=Princeton Buffer |access-date=30 March 2015 |date=4 January 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402175749/https://princetonbuffer.princeton.edu/2014/01/04/a-bugs-life-colonial-allegory/ |archive-date=2 April 2015 }}</ref>

The protagonists of the 1971 ''[[tokusatsu]]'' series ''[[Kamen Rider (1971 TV series)|Kamen Rider]]'' primarily carry a grasshopper motif (for example Kamen Rider Black's Batta Man form), which continues to serve as the baseline visual template for most entries in the [[Kamen Rider|media franchise]] it has given birth to since.
