Grasshoppers are considered to become the most important group of Class Insecta for their contribution to variety and abundance. Many crops, including sugarcane, sandal, Pinus, tomato, gramm, groundnut, maize, jowar, millet, pearl, and rice, are considered severely pest by Truxalis eximia eximia Eichwald, 1830. Present study was carried out during the March to September 2013-2017. The adults and nymphs were captured from agricultural fields and reared under laboratory conditions. It was observed that Truxalis eximia eximia passes upto 5 instars to become adult. Addition to this, description of species, line drawing of instars, digital images of instars, identification key of instars along with ecological distribution are provided. Hopefully, this study will be beneficial for the future researchers dealing with the Truxalis fauna.
