Life cycle of maggots preying on grasshoppers
The text describes maggots infecting grasshoppers, feeding as they enlarge and destroy internal organs, leaving a shell. The maggot then burrows into the sci males, becomes the paparium stage, lasts six to 16 days, then molts into a fly. About six weeks complete a cycle, allowing several generations per year to prey on grasshoppers.

Hail Damage Reported Near Preston After Saturday Storm
Hail was spotted south of Lake Preston damaging Francis Larson farm and a nearby field while west of the city corn and uncut grain at D Paterson farm suffered. High winds broke straw and leveled some affected fields though some areas remained intact. The 0.73 inch moisture from the storm, first rain since June 18, helped crops and should aid swelling, maturing, gardens and pastures.
