I’ve never really thought about what grasshoppers ate - until tonight. I didn’t realise they were predators, so tonight was a bit of an eye opener, seeing this grasshopper feeding on a moth it must have caught. Honestly, I was a bit grossed out - one day I’ll toughen up and accept ‘that’s nature!’
Thank you - I remember you telling me, Roger, and it's been a very useful distinction to help differentiate. However, I was just a bit weirded out by seeing its mandibles moving as it consumed the moth, so didn't concentrate on the species . . .
