Butterflies are helpful. They help to pollinate your plants. Don't know about grasshoppers. All I can tell you is that one year when we had an infestation of grasshoppers here, The Cooperative Extension Service advised to keep all surrounding weeds , brush and grass cut. Provides less habitat for them. If you can catch them they make good fish bait.Also keep all weeds out of the garden. You might check with a garden center to see if they can suggest a bait or poison for them.

Here I go again. Sprinkle Sevin Dust around your vegetables. It will not harm the plants but insects can't stand it. I don't know about butterflies in vegetable gardens, but I know if you look for plants that attract butterflies, then you can plant one and they will go to that. There is a plant called a butterfly plant. The name is buddleia plant.
