No

Hoppers are rich in protein. Stir fry them for crunchy TV snacks or pop
into the kid's lunchbox for a lunchtime surprise.

Hi all

I'm in Brisbane. At the moment it seems we have a heap of grasshoppers in
the garden, all merrily munching on my poor struggling little palm tree.

No
sooner does it sprout a new leaf and the little hoppers move in. Any
suggestions for getting rid of them? (short of a flame thrower, and yes,
I'm tempted!)

A solar-powered cooker for the hoppers? You're doubly eco-friendly!!!
