I don't know if it is the weather or what. I have never
had grasshopper damage like this before.
They are terrible. I am going to have to resort to some
heavy duty killer or loose too many of my plants.

It is hard to get in the whole population of these bugs
in a camera frame. They tend to hop around when disturbed.
A video of them might give the full magnitude of how
bad they are.

I have them too! How the heck do you get rid of them??

Thanks for posting the pic of grasshopper damage. I was just surfing here tonight and stumbled on your pic. It answered the question as to what has been devouring my garden this year. My horseradish and peppers have been STRIPPED of almost every green part! Thank goodness they are hanging in there but it has been depressing to say the least.
