Lubber grasshopper. Like speck said they are by the thousands on way to the point and any marsh that is relatively fresh. They feast on certain marsh plants and nothing really eats them We knew them as graveyard grasshoppers for some reason.

Bullfrogs love them....When they are around an inch long in late spring bluegill can't resist them...They easy to get early in the morning on grass stems and don't jump around like crickets and are free...

When I was a kid we would go with a friend of mines dad to their camp south of Morgan City & go catch those things by the bucket loads & sell them to a bait shop. I think they made crawfish bait, or something like that, out of them. We'd put Vaseline around the inside of the bucket rim & fill them about half way so they couldn't get out. His dad was would give us each ten dollars & he'd keep the rest. Those were some good memories!
