AuntAnne & Pizonne: Perhaps you are on to something!! When I mow or water my lawn, I do occasionally have them fly up from the grass at me and fly away. (They are the long-distance flying ones - I think called Bird Grasshoppers). I see maybe one actively flying per day, BUT my house IS flanked on both sides and to the rear by heavily wooded, undeveloped lots, (see photo), so I am certain there are many more. I have never SEEN one on my Hibs, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Any advice? Should I be trying to attract bats now? haha
