If we crossed the locusts with vampire bats we could control the entire problem.

Aren’t they edible. Lev 11:22  Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

Yep. I ate some with some salt and garlic. Taste pretty good, and definitely not like chicken! Their real value, tho, is as edible garnish on top of a casserole or stew, then take it to a pot-luck supper. The locust gives any food a bit of a nutty flavor as well as built-in entertainment value. :)

Dayummm. Those are big locusts, if they’re city sized.

This has happened in Africa for 1000’s of years, warming has nothing to do with it-the locust life cycle does...

In a lot of places-like Africa-locusts ARE food-grab some nets and get ready to fill the freezer with free insect protein...

I do not believe this is the Apocalypse . . . but . . . they are discussing whether both famine and plague are imminent with Coronavirus and now locusts. All we need would be conquest and war, and those are always ready to go.

Time to rewatch The Hellstrom Chronicle from 1971.
