Remember my x candida pink tree and all of it's flowers? Minor gusty winds cleaned her up pretty good from all the dead flowers. I was looking up into the tops of the tree this morning and thinking ...gosh it sure looks barren up there! And then I saw that almost every growing tip and leaf in the top of that tree has been chewed by grasshoppers! Those huge monster grasshoppers that look like small birds flying around.
Not only did they eat the top of that tree but I found these monsters by the herds in my plumies about a week ago. They did some pretty good damage to a couple of them but thank goodness I spotted them before it was major.

Never a dull moment in brug world! :)
