Yikes! I love my basil, I would be very unhappy to find that kind of damage! Italian or Swiss- they have to go!!

Rebbetzin, if grasshoppers are a recurring pest you may want to look into using Semaspore, a grasshopper bait that contains nosema locustae.



my apologies for the cheesy remark in the previous reply :p
