What is the process of size change and maturation of a grasshopper?

The process of size change and maturation in a grasshopper occurs through a series of molts, known as instars. As the grasshopper grows, it sheds its exoskeleton multiple times, allowing for an increase in size. Each molt results in a larger, more developed grasshopper, transitioning from nymph stages to the adult form. This process continues until the grasshopper reaches maturity, at which point it can reproduce.
