Grasshoppers or Locusts? Well I is baffled....
Apparently locusts are grasshoppers which exhibit behavioural changes. Hmmm so maybe when we are moody we do really change to moos?! Hee hee, well it was worth a try!
When it rains all the baby locusts hatch. They are solitary at this point. As they hop around they knock into each other which produces hormones which excite them and they become gregarious. They all take off, ride the narle winds of change and swarm onto some unsuspecting farmers crop eradicating his annual income in a couple of days.
Its a cruel world!
The ugly evil bug displayed for your viewing pleasure is 'Hopper' from the widely acclaimed 'A bug's life' produced in 1998. He concentrated more on catching ants than yamming crops!
Anyhoo, I'm disseminating knowledge gleaned from the Friday meeting notes, Moomin and the internet which I have read in order to be able to give my talk this Friday on God's wonderful creation.
As I was summing up my talk a thought dawned upon me about how we are like grasshoppers. They can either be solitary and harmless or swarm together and cause destruction. You can either live a solitary life for God or group together with others who have no aim and end up causing hurt for others and ultimately for you.
Any other comparisons are welcome

PIck me, pick me!
A Sunday school child alone can be talked to and interacted with. Get a bunch of the darlings together and they can wreak havoc...........a bit like young people really!
Or a football fan, and a football hooligan gang........
You are a complete nut!
that's rich coming from you...
A bit like manure? Spread them about and they do a lot of good. But heap them up together and they just .. well ..
OK. I feel one of me pomes coming on.....
Too many locusts make a swarm
Pestilential, doing harm
Out of control, the plague destroys
Like a huge gang of girls and boys!
If they live alone you find
They're food for other creature kind
Like bats or humans and the like
Or even the loggerhead shrike.
The loggerhead shrike is, a bird which impales its hoppers on a thorn bush - a bit like a larder!
Eat my shorts fatbaptist!
I like the loggerhead shrike's method of killing its prey! Its vicious yet creative and a storage system too. Sweet
Oy, mogger, NO!
