Warning- Insect Carnage-

Ive seen plenty of chipmunks, but I don't think I've ever seen one devour a bug before. I'm sure it must happen all the time...Chock full o' vitamins!

Great shots, and very interesting, Mike. I too have never seen this. Good for you to capture it!

Your photos almost make the grasshopper look like good eating.

It probably happens often, though rarely photographed. I've seen fox squirrels eat big beetles.

great photos.

I used to 'study' chipmunks when I was young, they LOVE grasshoppers!

they can 'trim' and gobble down the bodies in no time.

I kept thinking..."it's a chipper hotdog" as he worked his way down the body.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
