Grasshopper Invasion

@attilio-cesare: yes, eating ze bugs 🐛 can be healthy... however, the most optimal “Primal Diet ™️“ way is to eat them uncooked (raw) and only the juicey/fatty goodness inside, expelling the crunchy parts (exoskeletons)! 😋 and, @cahlen, what are your thoughts 💭 and/or comprehension, about the hype that electro culture is supposed to have a side benefit of reduced need for insecticides and/or causing the plants to be more insect resistant? 🤔

@sunlit7: One thing I miss seeing around is grasshoppers. I tried several times over the years to bring them from area's where friends lived that still had grasshoppers around but they never took hold. When I was a kid we spent a considerable amount of time chasing and catching grasshoppers. I've had more luck reintroducing crickets. They are out there chirping away as I type. They disappeared to from the landscape. I hadn't even notice until there was a shooting a block over and the neighbor over there said something to the effect that twenty years ago all you ever heard around here at night were crickets. That's when I realized a similar sound was missing. Not that I always had a thing for crickets. Like he said twenty years ago they were plentiful, one in particular drove me crazy when I'd try to go to bed at night. I use to swear one night I was going to get him and drop him half way between here and work, but no matter how quiet I tried to open the door he always knew I was coming. lol. A few years back I even thought about mail ordering some grasshoppers until I found out it was illegal, which surprised me. Like you pointed out they can do a lot of damage to crops so I guess there is a law that says you can't just ship them to yourself because it could endanger crops. I could see it if you lived in farmland but a city where crops aren't produced it doesn't make sense to have such a old law on the books.

@cryptopaddy801: Yeaa there is some damage foe sure, but not as bad a slugs and snails which im currently fighting with.....My chokes are nearly eaten fully, only some leaves left over on tops, i hope they will still produce some crop.... Same with sunflowers and other plants they like, out of 50+ sunflowers i planted maybe 3 or 4 would flower.... Also in the greenhouse, they had eaten most of my peppers and other seeds i had germinated, you could come over in the morning and all seeds germinated the day before were eaten down to the soil lvl...... and in relation to eating zee bugs...yes in survival situation sure but not in everyday diet.....there is a reason why people would eat them only once for a while..... anyway, best of luck with rest of growing season.... In Lak'ech!
