This has been really Making me scratch my brain A lot for a long time now.... why are grasshoppers only sold as freeze dried or can what's wrong with live grasshoppers just wondering maybe it's the wings or the legs not sure but I've also heard that they are illegal to sell in the usa? I'm not sure where I just remember reading that somewhere online it was just curious as if anyone has any answers about this!
This is definitely why. I think California is one of the few places they aren't illegal (imagine that, everything else is) but I definitely recall a few times as a child living in the country where we would get an absolute plague of them every few years. You could not drive down the road without squishing tens of thousands of them, and it didn't make a dent in their population.
