Backyard Banana Joe

That lousy ugly dirty lazy rude no good grasshopper

Yuri Barros

I think that this is very localized......and do not reach biblical proportions.....


but.......a special care have to be made about introdution in other countries......

here in Brasil they can damage little........they are part of the ecosystem........

once man disturb the ecosystem........they migrate to the banana crops........

Grasschopper is part of habitat revitalization.......where the fire cannot made its work..........due humidity..........gasschoppers do the way of fire......

I was worried because people here in Brazil are armed with planes to intent pulverization....against (Schistocerca cancellata)......the grasschopper species that attack Argentina last month...birds and reptiles will feed of contaminated dead grasschoppers and maybe die too...........

on bananas this is thefirst time I saw..........

I have some black and yellow grasshoppers in my back yard that have been leaving my bananas alone so far
