Can you see him there? He's as long as my hand is wide and hard to spot. But he's been working the raspberry bed for at least a week, and I hope catching many a grasshopper.The other predators whose help I treasure are concentrated up in the tomatoes, where they enjoy the help of hog fencing for structural foundations: the spider cohort. Those ladies are always ready when we come picking. We send hoppers jumping, which in turn sets the ladies to spinning. It's great fun for the bloodthirsty gardener to watch a hopper fully wrapped and ready to eat in less than a minute.
