I’ve noticed a few holes appearing in the leaves of my Sweet Basil plants this week. Upon closer inspection I found this big green insect munching away, enjoying a meal of basil.
It looks like a katydid or some kind of grasshopper. It did a nice job of blending in, I almost missed it. Anyway, it has now been dispensed of (sorry PETA) and my organic herbs are safe once again. Hopefully it’s friends won’t show up.

Must be an Italian Grasshopper.
Better hide the pasta! LOL
Good pic.
Apparently lots of bugs like basil. I found a little beetle chewing holes in it yesterday.
