Grass Hopper Trouble!

Today this kid named bobby ( a foolish grade eight who is an idiot!) went to go feed our class pet lizards ( don't ask) so he thought it would be funny to ummm... let them explore out side their box! Yes! you guessed it he dropped the box of grass hoppers and possibly crickets on the class room floor all the girls ( including me) screamed at the sight of them we ran out of the classroom and some how ended up back in the class room ( teacher). Well of course Bobby made no effort to find them all and just snatch the ones he could see so ya had to be careful I wouldn't be surprised if I found one in my bag right now!

Well some of you are probably like right now what a wimp can't even handle a few grass hoppers loose so I went on line and found some facts about our unexpected classmate!

Grasshoppers as food

In many places around the world, grasshoppers are eaten as a good source of protein. In Mexico for example chapulines are used as a snack or filling.

Raw grasshoppers should be eaten with caution, as they can contain tapeworms.[1]

They can carry serous illnesses and are highly dangerous.

Well that's all I hope you found this very educational! Brittany
