A Bunch Of Visitors in Mama's Garden: My First Time Seeing An Army of Baby Grasshoppers Feasting On Our Plants

As I explore the garden, for my entertainment and for my own peace of mind, I stumble upon a creature hugging tightly the body of our Atis Tree. Like a monkey, no, no, more like a baby panda. It's cute and adorable but funny too. Seeing it made me happy all of a sudden. It's amazing how a simple sight of things can affect a person's mood. It's like a cure, though it doesn't last long still, the small joy it brought to me really a big deal.

Here's that happy pill, the cure for a sad feelings. I didn't know she's in there actually because there's that tall plant covering her. And when I find her, I can't help but laugh out loud, it just happened, haha. I mean, look at that, just look at that adorable face and the way she lean on the tree like her life's depends on it. Just sooo adorable ♪⁠ ⁠\⁠(⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠\⁠ ⁠)

Anyways, I shared about this plant before and I noticed how it us steadily growing, like it is so fast. According to Mama it's a herbal medicine so I made a research about it. According to google it is Indian Heliotrope with scientific name: Heliotropium Indicum. Actually, this is just a weed to me, I didn't know it's uses so I never got interested in it. But I saw them sometimes in some places especially those empty lots with growing weeds everywhere.

It's tiny flowers is what really caught my attention. They are so small but really pretty. I think it'a flowers will not grow anymore and they'll just grow this tiny. And ah, about the leaves, it says they can be extracted or pounded to get it's juices and they can be use to treat wounds, that's cool really. I think it is for external use only (⁠ﾉﾟ⁠0ﾟ⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠→.

Anyways, during my walk in the yard, I witnessed something really fascinating. I saw an army of baby grasshopper and they are soooooo cute OMG! They are eating Mama's plants though, unfortunately. On This photos you can see them resting in the red chili tree. I was so happy to watch them but i'm too afraid too to disturb them so after taking a few photos, I leave them alone and let them feast on mama's plant, haha. Like, I don't really have the the heart to shoo these babies away, they are too cute. Look at those eyes. They all look like alien, so innocent. Haha. And you k ow, I thought it's just them but then Mama call me and told that there's more in the malunggay tree so I immediately check.

And lookie, lookie, there's more of them here, like, whoaaaaa. This is the first time I saw these lots in one plants. Like isn't that too amazing?

But the bad side on having them these much is this, look at all those leaves. Yeah, they move to Mama's plants, the money tree and they can really eat so well. Mama had to cut the leaves and move them somewhere. They really enjoying feasting on the poor leaves

And yeah, i'm not alone here. Mama's busy sweeping all the dried leaves on the ground. As for me I am busy taking photos and well, appreciating my surrounding.

Here's the last photo for the day, some plants growing in the yard. It has flowers now, a really tiny one. Not sure if Mama has plan on plucking them out the ground. For now it is still growing in there.
