When the hygienist is treating patients with hand instrumentation, the assistant can use a surgical suction tip where it is needed. No matter how good a hygienist is, no one can see through blood. Having a clearer field of vision when scaling and root planing periodontal patients makes a significant difference.
Part 2 Feeding Adult Grasshoppers. 1. Research what grasshoppers like to eat. Grasshoppers prefer to eat plants in the grass family such as alfalfa, wheat, corn, and barley. These types of plants are the easiest for grasshoppers to digest and, therefore, are their natural preference for food. 2. Give your grasshopper a variety of food.
Adult grasshoppers can live two to three months; they die out when food becomes scarce or when the weather becomes too cold. Many predators eat grasshoppers, including birds, blister beetles (which feed on eggs), and robber flies. Fungal and bacterial diseases as well as parasites also kill grasshoppers. Grasshopper population sizes vary from year to year, and severe outbreaks normally occur only every 8 to 10 years.
