Why not look into any of the various 'locust swarm' grasshoppers? There's a lot of interesting research into what makes those Acridid grasshoppers swarm, and their various life cycles. Here's a link that might spur your interest..

I'm do a biology project and I need to pick one species from order Orthoptera
and talk about the body plan, life cycle, habitat, and the niche of that species but when I look up specific species online I don't get much of that info, also the library wasn't that helpful :\ does anyone know a website or know about grass hoppers and can help me?
I also need to do this for Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and Asteroidea
