Grasshopper Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a grasshopper! They're a grass act!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Grasshoppers are known for making a "chirping" sound. Though it doesn't sound like chirping to me...

  They make this rude racket by rubbing their hind legs against their wings. And though they eat seeds and pollen, they sometimes prey on smaller insects too.

  I say! Such violent table manners should not be tolerated. Horrible hoppers.
