They reminds me the Aesop's fable "The Ant and Grasshopper". I don't know whether everyone knows this fable, so I'll tell you this story.
The grasshoppers spent the warm summer days singing on the trees while the ants worked to store up food for winter. When that season arrived, they grasshoppers begged for the ants for food, but the ants refused to give them food, so they died of hunger. This story has been used to teach children the proverb: to work today to eat tomorrow.
The grasshoppers visited us last summer and their songs were very beautiful. I hope you liked it!
Wishing you all a lively week!
Yes, I remember the fable. Those grasshoppers look unusual and a bit different from the ones we see and hear in Italy. Hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThan you Linda! Yes, they are different. Maybe because they are from Brazil. Have a good week too!

The grasshoppers look big. I've not seen one here but sometimes hear them singing, hidden away in the grass.
ReplyDeleteHi Molly, I'm glad to see you! This was the first time that there were thousands of grasshoppers on the trees and they used to sing until midnight.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good week, Sandra

They look pretty big grasshoppers (unless the camera is zoomed). I did not know they sang - is that the sound when they rub their legs together? Thanks for your visit and comments.
ReplyDeleteHello Barbara, they were really big! Yes, the sound happen soon when they rub their legs together.
