An Un-Welcome Visitor?

June 10, 20090

Today I was inspecting my Kentucky Wonder Green Beans to see if there are any new pods or flowers developing. I was happy to see that there were a few, which got me excited about a nice Green Bean meal coming soon! Then I found a visitor on one of the vines. I am not sure what it is, but it is built like a grasshopper so I am going to assume that it eats just like one. Unknown Insect I just picked him off the plant and threw him over the fence (not the best pest prevention plan, I know, but I am not 100% sure it is even a pest). If you know what this insect is, please let me know!
