I would worry more about the JUNE BUGS before I would the lil old short horned grasshoppers lmao. I simply Abhor June Bugs!! 😮
I mean for heavens sake, why on earth is there such a dumb, big, nasty, crunchy bug that does nothing but fly into bright lights and bump its head or arse on the windows at night>? tee hee (there IS a story behind this madness). :roll:

ya i was working in the rockies one time and this junebug (the guy called it something else) fell from sky and he got all panicked and mashed it and said kill any you see lol we were laughing so hard but he said they take a big chunk out of you and they aim for you.
i never experianced a bite but i believed him...and i dont think they are edible lol

i've never been bitten by a june bug nor have i ever heard that they bite.....i hate 'em cause their so big and stoopid ~ they seem to enjoy crashing into your face in their long, loping fly patterns
(and i can't sleep when i hear them buzzing/crashing outside my bedroom window :x )

and btw.....some dogs and cats LOVE eating june bugs *puke*

Secretsign that is a Cicada you are holding....they eat the bad bugs and avids. They come out of the ground every 7 years to mate. Once they mate they die. I have never had one of these bite me in my 41 yrs of my life lol. I do however believe you in the fact you say you have had them bite you.

This is what a JUNEBUG looks like...

These have NO PURPOSE except destruction of plants etc.. and to fly around and stick in your hair and bump into the windows at night (or crawl in your ear when you are a little girl sleeping outside on a covered porch with all of your cousins for a kick ass pow wow type of thing) 🙁 My father had to back one of these lil suckers out of my ear by using a flashlight. Ohhhhhhh my Lawd. 😮
Now you know the REST of the story hehehe

June bugs are really japanese beetles. I dislike them because they eat my roses and also some of my garden plants.
