I saw this for the first time when I went to Lehigh Acres back in June. I had never seen any in Miami before. I guess they made their way across the peninsula...

I lived in Miami Dade for 43 years. I saw those Lubber grasshoppers every year. Perhaps it is because I worked in a botanic garden where we tried to protect some of the plants from the Lubbers.

Basically I have lived in Florida since Halloween Day 1973...and this week as I told Corrie22, was the very 1st time I ever saw one, never mind the bunches of them now in our yards here in SW Miami. Live and Learn . . .

We live in a Circle with 11 homes, some 2 Stories, there is a green area in the circle that all it ever gets it's mowing and trimming. I have never seen trucks spraying insecticides in the circle and common areas inside our Hammocks Community, I retired in 2011, so I am home daily. and in a circle you are seeing daily the coming and goinn of commercial vehicles.

It's just 2020 and we learned a couple of months ago that all over the World wild animals, the Fauna & Flora (Insects Included) came into territories not used by them at all, I find it the best explanation available to us for now.
