The hopper are out of control behind my shop. I have been studying the situation out back attentively. The hoppers love my basil, beets and brussel sprouts. I have aphids on my tomato stems.
I've also observed yellow jacket wasps attacking baby hopper and flying away with them.

This has been an odd year-- such a wet and mild spring-- I noticed 2 months ago that there seemed to be more insect life than I've ever seen. That said I haven't seen any grasshoppers near my home.
Are you sure that's what they are? My basil's being attacked, I presume by aphids.
