Default Baby grasshoppers

I found a cloud of baby grasshoppers eating one of my milk-jug-covered tomatoes, today. I don't know that I'd ever seen grasshoppers eating tomatoes before (they must have hatched right under the milk jug and had nothing else to eat but the contents of the jug, unless they went out through the vent at the top, which they seemingly weren't doing). They usually just eat weeds and leave the garden alone (or if they do eat some of the garden, it's not much). To be fair, they were eating the weeds under the milk jug, too. Anyway, I lifted up the jug and waved my hand so they would all jump away (and they did).

I was pretty surprised to find them, though.
