They totally bite, bit my daughter this nice straight line that was broken through just a bit. We were both shocked. Also this beetle that hangs around our house stings like a bee, and ANTS! OMG don’t get me started on ANTS, they are gonna take over the world. Those bastards are creepy, and their bites last for weeks!! The apocalyps is going to be from insects taking over the world!!!

This is all stupid! ok lets start by teling that the grass hoppers are not dangerous.First of all the guy up says that they must stop to exist! why that?? because have more legs? because its smaller? because have strange alien like eyes? because have wings? I dont get it! i gaught all the time in my hands grass hoppers and not even one time they bite me,i have even try to put my finger on the mouth force the poor bug to bite,but nothing! at least it try to ruled by fear.Seckondly i have never see one with red eyes and this thing that the guy above mention on the back of the insects belly,its not a peniss,that thing the most of the females has it and thats for storing the eggs to the ground.(and im not even a scientist) they guy above probably wants to scare people with a horror flick spoof and not describe the insect as it is.And if we take the biblical scale from the faraoh years ago,those creatures was send from god to punish theys king and not to kill the people.They are godly creations like you and me and nothing more.

I suppose there are quite a few different types of grasshopper. I can’t recall being bitten by one though, even though I have handled quite a few. The worst I’ve noticed is they emit a brown liquid when picked up. (they are superb bait for stream trout). If a program of insect eradication were carried out, I would much better like it to be aimed at biting mosquitos, fleas, and cockroaches. I haven’t heard that grasshoppers carry any diseases like those mentioned, and I would guess there are any number of fish and fowl which depend on them for food. In fact, I’ve heard that some people eat them.http://grasshopper.com/5000/

i couldnt agree more and remember it was a plague of the things in the bible that destroyed egypt. I am fully afraid of the things. the other day i went to hang out my washing and there was one on the path so i had to just wait an hour until it left.

Mind you i scuba and will swim with sharks, its just that grasshoppers and crickets make sudden moves and they are unpredictable. I will not watch Pinnochio because of jiminy cricket TRUE
