A very good book was written several years ago about the Rocky Mountain locust, which went spontaneously went extinct between about 1870 and 1914.
At one point they were the most common species in North and South America and ate up to 60% of the food produced each year.
The government was unable to control the vermin and said that all people could do was to pray that they would go away.
The females mutated and were unable to breed with the males. Over the next 35 years, the species spontaneously went extinct.
Really, a species going spontaneously extinct because the females mutated and could not breed with the males is about as close you’ll ever get to a miracle of Biblical proportions. And yet, the author completely missed that fact!

The females mutated and were unable to breed with the males.Did feminism take hold of this species of locust? When I lived in Japan, rice locust were gathered, marinated in a soy oil and sold in trays in the supermarket. It was a nice sidedish rich in protein. They didn't taste too bad either once you got over the idea of eating insects.
November was the peak season for gathering. The Japanese had a way of baiting and setting traps so they more or less gathered themselves.

That's what I thought until I tried them for the first time.
It probably didn't hurt growing up with a brother that sampled other exotic fare with me. It was either crickets and grasshoppers or blackbirds and crows. I chose the insects over the birds.

I hear Mexican chocolate covered locusts are pretty crispy and good.
But I’d never try them :)

Theres no reason to believe that all female locusts had mutations that made them unable to breed.
The author of that book believes movement into the locusts core areas by farmers changed the local environment so much that they died out. Thats much easier to believe than a sudden, wide-spread, but specific mutation caused the entire species to go extinct.

Nooooo! Africa is bigger than the US, Europe, Japan, China, and India put together. Plenty of space for Africans to move around. Let them intra-colonize.
