INSECTS ARE INTERESTING

Sign of the times...I found this guy about 1 inch from my door knob entering the house.
Friend or Foe?  The reviews are mixed.  Why was he there?  so exposed?  Grasshoppers are responsible for a lot of crop
destruction going back to the 1800's.  They eat mostly grass, plants and cereal crops.  During periods of overpopulation they are known to destroy gardens, foliage, shrubs and tree's.  Katydid's stick mostly to shrubs and tree's and make a delicious snack for cats, birds etc.
