Do Adult Grasshoppers Hibernate?

I have a grasshopper that came to our back door in November. I've kept it in an aquarium, fed it, and kept it warm. It seemed fine. Just the other day it stopped moving. It's body is still movable, not stiff. It is not eating. Is it dead or just too cold? I can't tell because it's legs still move when I pick it up.

Most of them disappear in the winter to keep warm. If yours is still moving, I would think it is still alive.

Hi,

It is getting ready to molt, I believe. I kept a cricket as a pet once. The cricket shed its old exoskeketon for a new one.

grasshoppers do not hibernate in the winter they usually die but if it moves it is most likely alive
