I can't imagine where they are getting in unless you have some open card slots on the back.

This post deserves a reward for strangest computer problem of the month.

Are they big grasshoppers or just little ones? If they're small then maybe one got inside your case a while ago somehow and started laying eggs. They might be attracted to the heat or electricity... I'd leave your computer off for a couple days, you don't want one to electrocute itself and incidentally cause a fatal short.
