    Do you have a this problem your way? Up my way it’s the Deer – literally thousands of them since the farmer killed all the wolves. Its a real mess.

    Here, we ‘farmers’ yell at Japanese beetles, mosquitoes and aphids!! I think the grasshoppers were killed off years ago!

    We sometimes have a plague especially if there has been a long draught in the country areas. An issue with many other insects that will be a continuing battle. In saying that nice Haiku 🙂

    Oh MMT, this is so good. You’ve captured the helplessness and reality so well. 🙂

    Great post MMT. I think we all have a love/hate relationship with grasshoppers

    Yes, unfortunately, they come in plagues instead of a few who might be appreciated.

    Plagues of grasshoppers. We thought along the same lines. I like yours.

    I like the way you got the acrostic letters DHA into this piece, perhaps dihydroxyacetone is what the farmers use.
