Every year I experience an invasion of grasshoppers. They hatch as small
black gh's and grow bigger developing red and yellow stripes. Eventually
they molt and the mature gh's are large yellow monsters with black/red
detailing. I swat these things whenever I find them and drop the squished
remains into the traps of my sarrs. The sarrs seem to like the supplement
to their diet.
