Answer:

Popping up like corn.

Explanation:

In this text, we encounter a description of the grasshoppers that are present in Rainy Mountain. The author tells us that these grasshoppers "pop up" like corn. This is meant to describe the way the insects jump out of the grass. By using this simile, the author is able to create a vivid picture of the animals, and thus enrich his description.
