Ack! I have swallowed many a gnat and some flies but never a grasshopper. On Bike Forums, there's a very old thread somewhere about What's the Biggest Bug You Ever Swallowed on Your Bike?
Protein. I try to think of it as protein.

I seem to prefer getting my protein, from gnats.
As the Prime Minister said, during a speech when a fly flew into his mouth( as you do here in Australia ) "MMmmm yummy."Conquering illness, one step at time.

I had to dislodge a big fuzzy something from the back of my bottom teeth and spit him out. I hope he hadn't been perusing the road kill recently. EEWWWW!

So is this like a new thread...we have done what "What do you see", "What do you hear" and "What do you smell" on your bike ride.
Is this "What insect have you eaten?"
Here in Florida...we have "love bugs"--those swarming black bugs in May and (oh no) Sept. -ish. They will take the paint right off your car if you don't wash it right away. Anyway...I digress...
Bike thru a swarm/cloud of them one day. I keep my mouth TIGHTLY shut. They were clinging all over me and crawling on my face to under my glasses

*shudder*
And love bugs? Their very existence makes me thankful that I didn't pick up cycling until I'd left Florida. They were bad enough in a convertible at a stop light, I can't imagine biking through them! Icky.
