I find it takes so long to cross the grounded map so I was thinking that the devs could add a cricket that you could tame like the aphid or weevil, but you could ride it.
I think that a grasshopper boss would be great to add with crickets when I look away from the house it looks like there is a shed, maybe the grasshopper boss could live around there and you would have to mix a bunch of plants into something to summon it.
If anyone has any other ideas please share and if you know how to contact the devs could you tell them some of these ideas.
