Grasshoppers - Where are they?

[Letort]

I have seen very, very few in my area (SC PA) so far this summer. What about your area?

We’ve probably killed them off with agricultural pesticides. I haven’t seen a single grasshopper this summer.

I've not noticed many hoppers either. Also seems to be a ' down year' for butterflies in my neck of the woods. Been awful dry for far too long here in SWPA.

Usually I see hundreds squashed on my runs near Lititz. I haven't seen any this year.

I live beside some large fields that up until 2 years ago produced large amounts of grasshoppers. My cat would catch one every now and then and bring them into the house.

The last 2 years I haven't seen any, and the cat hasn't brought us a prize either.

I specifically looked yesterday. Not 1.

Look for grasshoppers in the grass. I saw a large one in the shade of the Courthouse. Global warming is to blame.
