Default Chewing Critters

Those grasshoppers - luber grasshoppers love Dends! I forget where you are.
We do see them in FL. Big suckers.

My GH has been invaded by something that's very fond of chewing on buds
and
rarely on leaves. Careful search has turned up no snails, slugs,
diabrotica
or mole crickets, which do a similar number on my roses. Cyhalothrin
appears
not to discourage the critter.
Any thoughts or suggestions?


I found a 2" grasshopper devouring the buds on my white den 2 days ago.
It did a lot of damage.
