PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - The Pacific Northwest must prepare for the worst grasshopper outbreak in 30 years, according to scientists for Washington State University and the USDA.
Researchers found a big increase in the number of grasshopper eggs last fall and said a relatively mild spring has set the stage for a major grasshopper infestation.
Last summer, grasshoppers wiped out 7,000 acres of grassland in the high desert of southeastern Oregon.

LOL, I'm busy this time of year.
BTW, the picture book The Responsible Party has grown to over 125 photo slides and is liable to become its own book. Unfortunately, I have zero time right now to promote anything. The land comes first.

Frogs, tadpoles and fish have dropped from the sky, during storms that suck up water from the oceans and lakes.
That’s how many seemingly insulated water bodies get some of their aquatic life in them.
