Maybe he thought you were some sort of landing or tree that he could get leverage on? Hard to say but could you get a picture of it? If it truly was a grasshopper it was not doing a defense nor was it preying on the moths.

If i see it again, i will. It was middle of the night and my only light source was my kitchen light (french doors)
I tried to shoo it with a broom on my deck by the way, and then it flew at me.
Are hoppers attracted to light?

>>2223672
They are. Also if that image you posted is correct you saw a katydid, not a grasshopper. And those are mostly carnivorous, so it was probably trying to get at some moths.
Also it jumped at you because they just jump when they are disturbed, that is their primary defense reflex. If something scary happens they just jump as far as they can, direction doesn't really matter, it just happened to land on you.
Also they're harmless, stop being a pussy.

I just googled bright green grasshopper, that didn't look like it other than color.
That said i just moved to the american south and am new to large bugs like that fucker was, he was the size of a cockroach

Katydids in North America are the size+ of an American Cockroach. You could've just seen a bright green grasshopper.

>>2223695
Then it might have been a katydid. do they fly like a hopper?

Katydid. Pretty much all insects are attracted to light to some extent, even diurnal ones.

Insects do not actively attack people. Is this your first time going outside?

I'm from way up north, we don't get big bugs like that. I just moved to the south

Its gonna be a bumpy ride my friend.
The bugs in the south are extreme.

I've seen a couple of beetles like pic related.
I found on whose mandibles were so large I could see them from 10 feet away.

i laughed really hard for some reason

>select squares with airplane
>entire image is airplane

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if OP finds out he actually saw a mantis

>>2223685
I also live in the South and have been finding large katydids in/near my garage. They're really nbd man.

On that note, prepare to see huge dragon flies (giant darner), robber flies (looks kind of like a giant mosquito) and big black/yellow argiope spiders (these bros only stay outside luckily, never found one in a house).
