Fact check true ✅

Grasshoppers as a group are around 250 millions years old. To put that in perspective, the first dinosaurs showed up 230 million years ago. Grass is a relative youngster and has only been around for an estimated 66 million years.

WAIT! So what did they hop over for 184 million years then?!?!

Just plants!

That would have made them planthoppers then.
