When I was stationed at Ft Riley KS, right around the time the fall turkey season opened, early Oct, we would have a grasshopper explosion. All you had to do was glass any field with any kind of grass, the turkeys were out in all of the fields gorging on hoppers. The warmer the afternoon, the better as it got the grasshoppers moving. I forget how many turkeys I killed there, but they all had their craws full of grasshoppers. It was fun to stalk them that way.
