Grasshoppers!

Post by Mallard »

Can't remember seeing any for years, then I spotted some in my strawberry and raspberry patch. I'd forgotten just how big they are and how far and accurately they can jump! >dowhat<

That is really weird Mallard, I was saying to someone today that I havn't seen any for years, use to be what appeared hundreds of them all over the place, just don't see them so much now.

Hope I see some soon )t'

Done a bit of googlin and it appears the grasshopper likes to eat leaves, but its favourite is dandelion leaves, plenty on my plot, so they're very welcome! :-D

We always have them around here. Maybe something they like in the field.
I have had three in the house this last week. :?
