Yes. If only we had some chemical that we could spray from airplanes that would kill the insects but not harm anything else....It is racist to suggest that Africa utilize the same chemicals that were used on Boston and NYC.

I noticed articles about this a few weeks ago and posted on a thread about it.
They were in the billions.
Getting into larger swarms now are they?
Another pestilence is that beer virus.
I switched to dos equis, not taking any chances...

This has been happening periodically for all of recorded history, and then some. Blaming it on ‘climate change’ is completely freaking insane.

Dayummm. Those are big locusts, if they’re city sized. At dusk the noise they make must be deafening. ;-)

Maybe if they tossed Hillary to the Obama statue - wait make that Indonesia - wait, tossing Hillary might make it worse.

Sands of the Kalahari is not a bad movie worth watching if you have never seen it. Stanley Baker character is closest to “hero” of the story, but mostly all characters have their strengths and weaknesses. Good story about human interaction in bad situation. Locusts only show up at start of movie, other than human faults, main protagonists are baboons.
