Coming home for lunch yesterday, I was surprised to see a unique grasshopper (will long antenaes) near my service door and looking at the fence adjacent to the cleared land, i saw scores of grasshoppers seeking refuge, after their natural habitat was destroyed. I feel sorry for them, but I can only offer some shade, although later that afternoon the missus told me that birds fed on them in the afternoon. Well, its the circle of life.
