I love walking sticks! I used to pick them up and let them walk all over me, but these guys with the turquoise hues are actually very evasive! I pick them up and they seem to get aggressive.. Although I hear they won't harm me, I still chicken out and put them down.

I HATE GRASSHOPPERS!! With a vengeance! They eat most of my flowering plants to nubs and still I plant. Sometimes they are so relentless, I wonder why I even try to fight them. They have completely annihilated my corn.. I'm going to have to pull it. I posted these in the veggie forum, but since you asked.. behold what was going to be my yummy sweet corn.. Bastards!!
