Here's a couple websites for those who are new to the hopper situation, and don't mind reading up a little bit. The first is a USDA site, and the second is from our Alberta (Ag. Canada) guru Dan Johnson at Lethbridge:
http://www.sidney.ars.usda.gov/grasshopper/
http://res2.agr.ca/lethbridge/scitech/dlj/dlj01.htm
Both are loaded with good links. For the record, our four main pest grasshopper species in Alberta (and most of the prairies) are the following
two-striped grasshopper
clear-winged grasshopper
migratory grasshopper
packard grasshopper
Arm yourself with some knowledge and learn about what you are about to eat as you heat up the chocolate on the stove for a good batch of yummy candied hoppers.....
