I had to decide if I should call this a pest or wildlife in the garden. Since it, and a few of it's friends, has been eating my morning glory vines and a bit of everything else in the yard and garden I decided it was a pest. Every where you walk they swarm around your legs.

We have those pesky things too Dooley. They do like to munch on the plants.

Phew I'm happy to say we don't have a single grasshopper in our garden although I know they're in the fields round about the village.
