Definitively a very good card probably too good to be valid in play. You should change the "revive" ability to 1G to make it playable.

I think for as innocent as it looks, it's too strong. I would start by making the token 0/1, and instead of return to play, return to hand.

It IS too strong. You remeber the oldie Scryb Sprites? You know, green's 1/1 flyer for G? There's a reason why they don't print that any more. It's because green is not supposed to get good flyers (that's also why the new green Kirin *beep*). However, if you look at something like Xantid Swarm, green is allowed to have flying insects, and it's very in flavor. I mean, if you got blocked by a swarm of grasshoppers, you wouldn't be able to see, but you sure wouldn't get hurt because of it.<br><br>Also look at Squee, Goblin Nabob for an idea of how powerful returning a card to your hand every turn can be. Especially so cheaply. Wizards will never make that mistake again. <br><br> In conclusion, I really like the idea, but yes, you need to make changes: it should be an 0/1, and the cost to return it should be at least 1G, if not 2G. Props for a neat card though, I like the flavor of not being able to kill off locusts.
