Locust Invasion - Go Wild

  • Since man can remember, immense swarms of locusts have regularly descended upon the prairies and fields of Western Africa, leaving in their wake desolate landscapes and destitute populations. Considered to be the eighth plague of Egypt, locust swarms have been known and feared since antiquity. Yet what do we actually know about locusts? What conditions make an apparently inoffensive insect metamorphose into a fearsome superpredator? Do they have some kind of collective intelligence that enables them to swarm? In the film Locust Invasion we follow the French entomologist Antoine Foucard during his last mission to Niger and Mauritania and discover the complexity of this insect and it’s multiple life phases, which until now have been widely unknown.

    The locust swarms hang like shimmering dark clouds on the horizon in some places. Roughly the length of a finger, the insects fly together by the millions and are devouring crops and forcing people in some areas to bodily wade through them. Near the Kenyan town of Isiolo on Thursday, one young camel herder swung a stick at them, with little effect. Others tried to shout them away.
    I researched the possiblilty of Eating the locoust instead of starving or depending on the UN.
    Locusts are a type of insect from the family Acrididae and also are known as grasshoppers. Locusts swarm in huge numbers and can travel great distances, causing considerable damage to crops. However, in many African, Middle Eastern and Asian countries, locusts are considered a delicacy and eaten in abundance. Locusts are an excellent source of protein and contain a variety of fatty acids and minerals. Although not considered palatable by most Americans, locusts are an important food source in many other countries.
    tired of seeing starving children or dying children waiting on the UN to eat.
    Mark 1:6 don't worry about being shamed by the white man The locoust eat your crops , you eat them.
    Your sincerly
    Monte Cagle. Please pass this on and maybe the right people will see and consider this.

      Humans don't have the digestive system to digest the exoskeleton & I wouldn't say they are "rich in protein". There's barely any flesh on one individual. Besides these pests carry Pathogens & Parasites that kill people. Bugs aren't part of the human natural diet.
      There's a reason most humans feel repulsive by just looking at them. Children even cry when they see them. It's against our instincts to eat it for a good reason & many ethnic groups around the world know that, it's Not just "Americans" or "Whites". Starvation causes despair. People would consume anything on such occasions, even cannibalism. It doesn't mean it should be normalized.
      Besides these bugs don't stop moving, the swarm will move as soon as they finish with an area. They leave you with nothing for a long while & can only satiate a person for a few meals, if they don't kill you by disease. Don't think you were the first one that thought about it.

    One of the best documentaries i have ever seen. Well shot, edited and the music is perfect to the video. Can be sold to Netflix or Amazon. It is excellent. When i started watching it, I thought I may not watch it more than 10 min, because I thought they are just insects, what is there to know about. But I watched the whole video. Great Narration. Interesting. I cannot express my feelings about this video in my words. Thank You Team.

    locusta migratoria are the brown species that are less commenly sold in the uk now for other pets to eat like lizards etc,but the locusts on this program are the schistocerca gregaria, that are the desert locusts and these are the ones sold all the time in pet stores for reptile food. ive been told these are sold more than the other species because they are more easy to breed quickly. I have kept both species in the past.

    Hi MABUHAY from the Philppines.
    Excellent Video.
    The First apperance of the word Locust in the BIBLE is in Matthew 3. As part of John the Baptist diet. It reminds me of Samson's riddle. "Out of the eater comes forth meat."
    Eating the locust by John the Baptist demonstrates protest against the lies of the Pharisees that eats the truth of God. Attacking God's garden by spreading lies.
    LOCUST is parallel to RESTORATION in Joel 2:25
    As John the Baptist trumpets REPENTANCE - i have learned from this video the mysterious process of transformation of Locust. God is ready to transform us from being a quiet, loner grasshopper to locust that seeks companies or swarming.
    Locust in the Old Testament was the 8th of the 10 plague of Egypt.
    Eight being the number of Restoration and REPENTANCE. It takes 7 days for a week, the 8th day is the new day for another week.
    Locust in Hebrew is Arbeh means AMBUSH.
    Similar hebrew spelling for the word Arabia
    Thanks for this video.
    I presently studying insects of the Bible and the purpose and their placement.
    I am greatful i ve found this video.

Tie it up and sell them or give to villagers for food. You won’t get them all but a good amount, that can be dried and eaten later.

And fried locust is also on the local menu as delicacies for generations in the region along with shea tree caterpillar and flying termites . That's one of the source of inspiration for promoters of insects based protein trend.dried and fried locust is sold in 50 kilos bags in african markets for few dollars . If you ever witness a locust swarm you will understand the labor involved in catching or netting them. Its hard work even for hugely motivated ducks and 🐔 armies let alone carb deficient people.
