A grasshopper can bite you, but so can a puppy. Or a goldfish. Doesn't mean it can inflict bodily harm. You have as much chance of dying from a grasshopper bite as you do of dying from a freak snowstorm in the middle of the Sahara. So again, there being no rational reason to fear them (your given reason being one of aesthetics), it is an irrational fear by the very definition of the word.
