Giant Grasshoppers

Giant Grasshoppers
This postcard was sent to me from Arizona in 1976, before the climate change, so global warming doesn't explain this strange mutation. And Photoshop didn't exist back then. My theory is that radiation may have caused the grasshoppers to grow like this, what with all those secret atomic test sites in the southwest deserts.

There has recently been a 'swarm' of newspaper articles extolling the virtues of insects as a food source. These look ideal.

Roasted on a spit over an open fire, perhaps.

As this pre-dates Photoshop, I'm pretty sure that they are real.

Fantastic image. I tend to think the accompanying guns are a red herring, to suggest that they are "big game". If these things do exist, I think our days are numbered :)

I have a feeling that global warming will bring swarms of these down upon us.

Glad I found the group! I'll have to scan some more from my collection.
