in the texts
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Creatures addressed as agents that can corrupt/neutralize poison, per a mythic precedent of the gods watering them.
With the water that the gods poured into you, O grasshoppers, in the desert — with that, O god-impelled ones, corrupt this poison.
Protrepticus
Grasshopper that supplies the missing note when Eunomus's lyre-string breaks, illustrating that nature, not the singer, moves the creature.
I could tell you of yet another legend and singer akin to these, Eunomus the Locrian and the Pythian grasshopper.
