Flowers and grasshoppers

We went to Tucson over a long weekend the other day. On the way, somewhere between Deming and Lordsburg I stopped to take this photo of the flowers in the desert. They were everywhere! The last time we drove through this area, we encountered millions and millions of large Lubber grasshoppers. They were all over the cars, the road, simply everywhere. The road actually became slick from them, because the dead one's were smeared all over it. The flowers were much nicer. Who knows? Maybe this is what they eat?
