I have recently noticed an infestation in some planted pots - which were just replanted about 3 mo ago - could they have come as eggs in the soil or plants?

"In late summer and fall, adult female grasshoppers deposit their eggs in soil in undisturbed areas such as grassy foothills, ditchbanks, roadsides, fence rows, pasture areas, and alfalfa fields. Cultivated gardens do not seem to be a common site for egglaying. Eggs are laid in the upper 2 inches of soil. ... ...When soil temperatures warm in spring, the eggs hatch and the young nymphs begin to feed on nearby plants. Nymphs readily move to new locations when food supplies disappear."
