Toughest Animals on Earth

Tardigrades are one of the few groups of species that are capable of suspending their metabolism (see cryptobiosis). While in this state, their metabolism lowers to less than 0.01% of normal and their water content can drop to 1% of normal,[39] and they can go without food or water for more than 30 years, only to later rehydrate, forage, and reproduce. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

Crickets vs Grasshoppers

The main difference between a grasshopper and a cricket is that crickets tend to have long antennae, grasshoppers have short antennae. Crickets stridulate ("sing") by rubbing their wings together, while grasshoppers stridulate by rubbing their long hind legs against their wings. https://www.abchomeandcommercial.com/blog/grasshoppers-vs-crickets/ On top of that, crickets can't fly even though they have wings, while most grasshoppers can fly pretty well.
