Now I don’t know if other people think this, but I’m the only one that I know that is terrified of grasshoppers. Their body looks like a demon out of hell and the way they can swarm and decimate crops is terrifying. I can just imagine them going piranha mode on a live human. They make me shake and I can’t talk when I see them too close.
They're pretty heavy too, so when they go all Kamikaze into my legs or face it makes a pretty noticeable thud, which always totally catches me off guard.
I had to dissect one in biology. Hated every minute of it.
I concur! Years ago we were riding quads and unknowingly drove right into an area with thousands of them. They were all over us! I was freaking out and the friend I was riding with knew how afraid of them I was and couldn’t stop laughing to get us out of there. I almost killed him.
