When Monk opens the gate outside, he sees a grasshopper climbing it. He cannot recall seeing one of those since childhood. This is quite a substantial bug. He is nervous about opening the game, doing it slowly, even though he doesn’t believe that it is a material threat. He has one reservation about this being a grasshopper, because it’s not nearly as green as he believes grasshoppers to be. This bug is much more a lightly colored yellow.

I have a slight recollection of this, though I cannot actually visualize the bug well. I’m surprised by the lightly yellow color. As I was reading this, I was prepared to read the color brown, and understanding that it was shaped quite differently from a cricket. It may have been something like the picture below, though I think that reddish spot would’ve stood out for me. In any case, I have not seen another like it since.
