A woman carrying two cages full of grasshoppers was kicked out of a bus in Wuhan, Hubei province's capital, after passengers refused to ride further in the same bus on Monday.

Seemingly troubled by the incessant noise the katydids created, passengers screamed at driver Wang Gang for allowing the villager to board the bus with hundreds of long-horned grasshoppers.

Even as the driver explained there was no rule prohibiting katydids from being brought on to a bus, passengers forced the woman to de-board at the Jianghan Road bus stop.
