Btw in Northern dialects of Low Saxon in the Netherlands, words like
"greshupper", "greswupper", "greshupker", "gröswupper (Drenthe province),
"grashupper" , "grashipper" (Groningen province) are known. Obviously the
same word as English "grasshopper",
it means either that insect or a field cricket.

Is this word also known in German Low Saxon or would the Dutch Low Saxon
words be from neighbouring Frisian?
In Frisian we find "hipper" and "gershipper"

The word is used on the German side of the border also, Ingmar:

*Grashüpper ~ Grashupper ~ Grashopper
~ Hauhüpper ~ Heuhüpper
~ Hauspringer ~ Heuspringer*

In German it is *Heuschrecke ~* *Grashüpfer ~ Heuhüpfer*, scientific *
Kurzfühlerschrecke* ~ *Springschrecke*.

In Missingsch and Northern Standard German it tends to be traditionally *
Grashüpfer*, probably owing to Low Saxon strata.

Luxemburgish: *Heesprénger
*Yiddish: גראָזגריל (*grozgril*)
Dutch: *sprinkhaan*
Afrikaans: *sprinkaan**
*Danish: *græshoppe*
Norwegian: *gresshoppe*
Swedish: *gräshoppa*
