Looking closely, I saw huge, eeeevil grasshoppers, over 12 of them, straddling the branches. Now, I'm not a big proponent of broadly spraying my yard for insects. I like to give everybody a fair chance and let Mother Nature balance things out. But, in my ANGER, I knew something HAD TO BE DONE.
I quickly hooked my hose up to a bottle of Triazicide and let her rip. I not only sprayed my Japanese maple, but all bushes and flowers in my front yard. You should have seen the number of hoppers that leapt out of those plants.
It was a freakin' circus.
They started dropping and writhing. Look at their mangled, dijointed bodies.
Deanna said we should get a bowl of ice cream and sit down on the porch to watch the show.
Some took several minutes to die.
And then...silence of the grasshoppers.
