Those painted grasshoppers are back

 Sept 6th and 7th

Poekilocerus pictus 

On Calotropis

Coloured and painted, you'd think it would cheer us

but beware, that toxicity cld afflict us

23, chewing Calotropis poisonous

So, we can squirt you, dont you mess with us

I know, I shall leave, I'm no ignoramus!
