      Yes. Aliens were seeding the desert with their favorite source of protein to see how it thrives pre-invasion. If crickets can thrive in the Nevada desert, they can thrive anywhere (except for the soon-to-be-melted poles). So intergalactic colonization becomes a sure _bet_ (pardon the pun)... 🤣

      and its the humans fault
      deastroying habitats and killing of all animals
      then crickets ,locusts ,grasshoppers etc will overpopulate cause normaly theyr a lot of predators eating them but now theyr non or not enough
      humans then generally think they can fix everythign with spraying poison
      forgetting that insects get imuine to it quite quickly
      the poison then kills a few but kills way more other animals and makes the plants etc sick too
      making even more crickets in the next year
