Humbug !

A huge green grasshopper eating my friendīs plant. I never realised they had eyes like humbugs.

Re: Humbug !

The grasshopper is superbly camouflaged isn't it right down to its eyes

Re: Humbug !

Oh yes Grasshoppers.

I remember a couple of years ago, I asked my neighbour if she wanted some of my Rosemary from the garden, as it takes over my front garden, so she said yes, so I cut loads off for her as she was having Roast Lamb for dinner, after about half hour I heard a scream, my neighbour as she was washing the Rosemary a Grass Hopper jumped out on her, she never asked again.

Strange creature .... I wonder if we would turn that colour if we ate nothing but our greens
