Plain Lubber Grasshopper Dissection Specimen for Biology Labs | Insect Anatomy This preserved lubber grasshopper dissection specimen is an excellent choice for introducing students to insect anatomy and basic arthropod body organization. Commonly used in middle school and high school biology labs, grasshoppers are ideal model organisms because their external and internal structures are large, distinct, and easy to identify during dissection. Each specimen measures approximately 2–3 inches in length and is preserved to maintain clear visibility of anatomical features, making it well-suited for hands-on classroom dissection and student observation.
