    When I was a 6-year-old kid, I remember that there was a locust plague where I live. Everybody just locked their doors and windows and waited until they were gone. We live in the capital, so there's no nearby farm or any plants really, but they were just passing by. It took probably a couple of hours. However, the experience was traumatic, to say the least. The noises they made, and how they kept bumping the closed windows. They're harmless to humans, but it still wasn't a very pleasant experience

    can't believe they didn't mention how the swarming behavior is controlled by cannibalism: they want to stay close, but if they get too close, they eat eachother... which drives the swarm forward. (they keep moving so others don't eat them!)
    My idea is to spray swarms or between crops with an agriculture-friendly sticky substance, like molasses or hagfish slime. it'll slow down their movement enough that they can start to eat eachother, letting us turn the problem (their voracious appetite) into part of the solution.

    “I sent the locusts on a wind, such as the world has never seen, on every leaf on every stalk, until there’s nothing left of green!”

    The experience of the US with locusts says that the effective strategy to deal with locusts is not with whatever is proposed in the end of this video, instead Americans (unknowingly) destroyed locusts breeding grounds by plowed it all over their country to setup farms. Apparently, the machinary they used gouged the earth deep enough to expose locusts eggs to predators.

    So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. For if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country, and they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see the land. And they shall eat what is left to you after the hail, and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field, and they shall fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day they came on earth to this day.’” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
    Exodus 10:3‭-‬6 ESV

    So if the locust run into a field of different plants it will slow/stop them? Ok that doesn't make sense. The video said we have a field of the same produce and if we would have different produce in the same field that would help with the locust? That makes no sense. Oh no a pumpkin AND a squash what will we do? Maybe eat both at full speed? 🙄

    Locusts are in the Bible.
    The Lord sent Locusts to devour the crops of the Egyptians. They were already only surviving on wine and alcohol due to the water 💧 turning to blood🩸, so now they would be starved, covered in painful boils, pelted by hail fireballs, bitten by flys, their food eaten by gnats, plunged into darkness, kept awake by the sounds of creaking frogs and the smell of dead livestock and then their firstborn sons were killed! It took all this for Pharaoh to let the Israelites go.

    I’m from the affected area by locusts! When they attack, it looks like Hollywood movie! And a nightmare for farmers.
    Only thing we could do to get rid of them was thumping drums, and making large noise to get rid of them.
    They are devils especially when they attack in dry season.

    Don't cook it immediately when you catch it, it stilll has some gaminess in it. Instead, i recommend to dry it under the sun for two days then deep fry it with salt and pepper, you can even add some chilli flakes. Taste like chicken, crunchy, best with rice.

    According to the Holy Bible, locusts are one of the foods God permits to be eaten in the Pentateuch (Torah / First five books of Moses). Leviticus 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." (King James Version). A different translation labels these insects: "locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper."
