Great photos everyone!

Glad this was brought back up. Stepping outside on day last week, a flash of blue and lime green caught the corner of my eye. Watched this guy peel the legs off a baby grasshopper and suck it dry. Naturally no camera in hand, but It probably wouldn't help me, can't take a close up to save my life--can't see and my hands shake. Forgive the photo, I chased him all over his territory. Real glad I have a great brug guard! ... and now you know the rest of the story, why I leave dead brug sticks.

Anyways, I heard they ate mosquitos but didn't know about grasshoppers--has anyone seen or heard this? The skeeter population had been way down due to the drought.
