When I was little, I used to like waking up early before school and going to the garden with my cat. I'd lay down on the lawn and brush it with my hands, and look at all the little hoppers that would jump and try to run away. The plant diseases that they carry are not in them, They are spores that stick to them as they brush past them. Because they move very fast from one region to another with their big leaps, they often help molds and fungus spread from one area to another, and that way they can contaminate crops and whatnot. They're ok to play with :) I think of them as my little friends too. When I was little, I used to like waking up early before school and going to the garden with my cat.
