I saw her drag the grasshopper down the hole, and then heard awful buzzing from the hole, and she left.

I watched this one dig for about 20-30 minutes the other day... It got where it would stay down in the hole it dug 25 seconds... Fascinating to watch! August 2009

Found it digging a hole, so checked the internet and it lead me here. Also got some video of it.
