Sunday, Aug. 21, 2005 near Archer, Fla., as temperatures hover in
the mid nineties. Grasshoppers prove to be destructive to farmers
as they eat the crops as well as other plants. Grasshoppers belong
to the order Orthoptera which includes 1000 species in the U.S. and
over 23,000 species on our planet. The Moss Rose is a popular
feeding flower for hummingbirds and butterflies. (AP Photo/Phil
