Well, I can’t speak to all of those, but, snakes eat a LOT of rodents, and grasshoppers make good bait for panfish - big hoppers even work for bass: One of the biggest bass I ever caught was successfully tempted with a big katydid. Big tomato hornworms are great bait too, tho’ I’d definitely rather not have that opportunity.
Yes, I know snakes and grasshoppers have their place in this world, but do they have to be in MY place at the same time?
I’m not afraid of much, but snakes and grasshoppers send me ‘round the bend. ;)
