A Bugs Life: Grasshopper Stories


The story of the grasshoppers have been tough for the bug world. Many bugs especially ant dont understand the way of the grasshoppers. Many ants believe till this day that the grasshoppers are to enslave them for resource purposes. In reality the grasshoppers are the protectors for the ants and are the balance between ants and other insects. The food that ants collect for the grasshoppers to consume are for all good purposes. Grasshoppers consume foods that are collected to protect the ants from outside forces such as spiders, beatles, lady bugs, praying mantis and worse of all catipillers. One day the ants decide to rebel against the grasshoppers by "hiring" outside bug forces and also using the grasshoppers fear of birds. Once the rebellion was over, the balance in bug life was disrupted. The ants had no order and the queen would later past from old age. Outside ants began feeling superior and challenge the ants rule of authority. Ants began consuming rather than gathering. Birds picked off ants one by one. Day by day ant numbers lower. When the day came where the ants needed the grasshoppers once again, the grasshoppers returned and brung balance once again. Grasshoppers fighting off other outside insects, grasshoppers flying daily routes to check for bird activity and the ants were able to train and bring upon a new queen. The ants were saved.
