Answer 1

For the record, grasshoppers get weird when in large groups. It’s like some sort of pheromone / agitation thing related to overcrowding. They get upset and then transform into locusts, then become a swarm of destruction that definitely seems to work together to eat everything in their path.

(The transformation is kinda like the rage zombie viruses).
