When I was looking through the viewfinder, I could easily see their little jaws moving at fifteen to the dozen, & they were simply mowing through that leaf at a rapid pace. This is the first time that I have actually seen them feeding in detail & I can easily see how a plague of grasshoppers or locusts can wipe out a farmer's crop over night. Downloading is recommended.

Excellent closeups, Earl. They can be very destructive in large numbers.
