Went to the new place today and cut the grass, and discovered a grasshopper invasion. Seems like they moved in overnight. That's not the jest of the thing. I was observing the damage the have done to the newly planted fig trees that were doing so well. NO LEAVES LEFT!!!!!!! The trees were already bearing fruit, but now all that is left is trees with green figs and NO LEAVES..... Not a happy camper right now. I guess the other fruit trees are next on their list.

It is amazing how quickly insects can devastate things
