I was on my way to Trinoma riding the MRT when I saw the grasshopper riding on the shirt of the lady beside me. The lady had earphones stuck to her ears so I waved at her to call her attention. She gently transferred the grasshopper from her shirt to the train’s wall and then she thanked me. Good thing the lady did not get hysterical because I know some people can get hysterical if an insect is anywhere in their person. I was really surprised to see such insect in the MRT and I wonder how it got there. If I’ve seen a cockroach then that would not be a surprise although I’ve never seen cockroaches in the MRT, only inside buses. A fanciful thought was that maybe the insect was from the nearby Cavite province on its way to Bulacan to visit relatives. I hope it got to its destination safely.
