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. Dooley

We have those pesky things too Dooley. They do like to munch on the plants. _________________ Sharon Phil. 4:13

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. _________________
