The rice harvest season is over in my area and now many insects or pests are starting to migrate to the plantation area, and this is what I feel right now. I was so shocked when I saw so many grasshoppers in my plantation, they were everywhere, on chili plants, tomatoes and on oil palm seeds, and honestly this has become a threat that should not be left alone. Grasshoppers in large numbers can damage plants because they can eat leaves very greedily, especially if their numbers are very large, it doesn't take long for them to finish off a large chili plant.

I managed to find a grasshopper, this grasshopper has a size that is not too big and not too small, at first I liked grasshoppers, but after I found out the nature and damage they can cause, now I really hate grasshoppers, I am even willing to spray them with anti-pest drugs to repel them and prevent them from returning to my plantation, and indeed that is the only option is to spray them with anti-pest drugs. And believe me if I let them be in my plantation, then the population will increase and the damage caused by them will also get worse
