Grasshopper..For Last on the Card, April, 2024

13 Replies

Why, every single month, do I see someone posting their Last On The Card photos and it is again a surprise?  Okay… here I go looking….be right back.

 

For once, I actually love my last on the card photo. To be honest, this was second to last but the last one was a QR code and I have no idea what it was for, so will not post it.  This fellow is much more interesting anyway.  And for once it didn’t jump just before I snapped the photo!

      We occasionally had clouds of them that ate everything in sight in South Dakota. So many on the highway that your car would slide off the road. I once had to use an entire bottle of 4711 cologne I’d just purchased to pour over the windshield of the car to scrub off the caked-on grasshoppers that had flown into it while I was driving..There were so many that I couldn’t see through the glass to drive. Crazy.

        I’m guessing you had no water! Poor perfume!! I can’t imagine what your thoughts were in the face of a a swarm like that! It sounds perfectly biblical!!

    Lovely Grasshopper close up Judy. I was only saying to my Wife recently that we never see Grasshoppers here in Tasmania anymore. Years ago if you walked through long grass or looked around in your garden you’d see them jumping everywhere. Now I can’t even remember the last time I saw one. When we lived in Australia’s tropical city of Brisbane we used to see huge big green ones probably around 4 or 5 inches long. They were beautiful.
