Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!

Check out the article on the Orlando Sentinel website. No, I am not grasshopper obsessed (as it would seem).

I didn't know about the smell. They must be some type of genetic freak - a skunky grasshopper! ha ha!

I think the newpaper is a little behind.

That monster made the Dis first, and we've all had nightmares since. Just when you are starting to sleep through the night without waking up screeming. The nightmare returns.

Ewwwww...

It's a nasty pest. Too fat to fly, lubbers can jump high and long. When disturbed, they spread their wings and hiss. Try to touch one, and it's likely to eject a foul-smelling, irritating foam intended to keep you away. It's highly effective.

If one of those monsters landed on me, I'd pass right out!!!

I'd only go near them if I had a front end loader!! lol

It is a major yuck. The story finally hit our news the other night. Just when I was starting to forget it.
