Keep an eye out for frogs. And when the water starts turning to blood, it’s really time to get your stuff together.

Pesticides are like vaccines.

Woke leftist twits in the West forgot why they were invented in the first place.

Locusts need to be looked at as something to harvest and utilize. Chicken feed comes to mind.

Because I know everybody is wondering:

Locusts, like many insects, are an excellent source of protein. According to the Encyclopedia of Science, they contain 62% protein, 17% fats and elements such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, sodium, iron and phosphorus. ... In fact, eating locusts has many medical benefits.

eat 'em up.

I recently read about the eastern US 17-year locust swarm that will be hatching in 2021. Maybe easterners will be chasing them like they are in that locust photo above.

There may be food shortages in Africa. Couple that with wipeouts in China and pretty soon there could be spot shortages across the globe. Add in another incident or two and things begin to get dicey.

There is a reason Bill Gates owns more agricultural land than any other individual on the planet.

Maybe have airplanes pulling dropnets to catch ‘em.

Then process into patties, sausages, jerky...whatever works.

With hot sauce. all is palatable.

Just joking but that picture is pretty wild.

Locusts are the only insect considered to be kosher. Good enough for John the Baptist, certainly good enough for me :-)
