Pete! You solved a long-time mystery for me!

I saw one of these when I was on a firing range at Fort Jackson, South Carolina! I thought I might be hallucinating, LOL!

Another mystery solved.

Now, let me tell you about the day I was on KP and went into the pantry and moved a #32 can of something and a cockroach the size of a Buick reared up on its hind legs and HISSED at me!

There’s a REASON I live ABOVE the Mason-Dixon line and appreciate our first hard freeze when all the bugs go back to H#ll where they belong! :)

Palmetto bugs! They are the size of birds!

No, thanx!

But, I bet chickens eat locusts. And I once had cocktail-type fried grasshoppers and they tasted like french fried onions. So, in a pinch....

Good reason to live where it gets cold! Until I moved here (KS, approx 38 degrees North Lat.) I do not recall being bitten by chiggers. Deer fly, mosquitos, inhaliing winnabago flys, yes, but not chiggers.

Barberpole grasshoppers...looks like camo for hanging out on multi color indian maize!

Wait! Officers doing KP?? Or just Female officers?

Giant palmetto bug? Food in China.

**Graphic warning...insectavore video. (Seriously!)**

Perhaps time for Chile to start harvesting locusts and selling them to China.
