Grasshopper

I know other gardeners might look at this guy and flinch, but I remember 20 years ago when we moved into this house the yard was full of grasshoppers, so full several would jump every time you walked anywhere. They slowly disappeared as we killed the grass, and the trees got bigger and bigger shading it out. I'm quite happy to see them return, though I'll be happier if I start seeing some preying mantis as well.
