These Swarming Locusts Are Grasshoppers Gone Wrong

They might look like harmless grasshoppers, but locusts have an appetite for destruction. When the conditions are right, they transform from mild-mannered loners into gregarious partiers. They swarm, causing chaos and suffering at the level of a biblical plague. So what sets them off?

Hold up, so they mate, reproduce offspring of the same variety. then at some point, they shed and turn into the black and yellow varient, then they continue reproducing and bare black and yellow offspring? I feel like that's a huge editing slip or I'm not understanding something. How do they do that?

I cant believe nobody has made the comparison of grasshoppers/locusts and human beings. Because all it takes to create a situation between people is a misunderstanding or misplaced sensitivity. We have so much to learn from our environment. DONT GO THE WAY of the locust

DDT. Trouble is, harmful side effects. Someone needs to invent genetically targeted pesticides. That way, certain harmful pests, such as locusts, roaches, lovebugs, etc. can be wiped out, without harming bees.

I live in America, and wish bugs were a more staple food here. I'd love to snack on fried locusts as I do my homework, or have mealworms on my pizza. Eating locusts would make the swarms more profitable.

Locusts are amazing creatures, its a shame we lost the Rocky Mountain locust. Basically the passenger pigeon of the locusts, had huge devastating swarms but went extinct quickly and suddenly due to humans.

Extroverts being exposed to a prolonged social situation: this is fine
Introverts being exposed to the same situation: this is not fine
Grasshoppers being introduced to the same situation: S W A R M

Since these critters cause crop famine, when they swarm, i'd catch and eat them. Share amongst the villagers so no one would starve. Locust are hardy, nutritious and taste nutty when roasted.

Why not capture, process then use as fish food for fish farms. There can be governmental/NGO financial assistances. It will be depending on financial viability. Just a thought.

Sounds like Emo kids alone they are timid and artistic together they breed, darken their clothing/hair/makeup, skip school, and get into trouble

I know you're here because you want to see how dangerous a swarm of locusts is vs losing your first born child. I wanted to see too.

if gluten is a protein found in grasses, does the gluten content of the grass effect the change of grasshoppers into locusts?
reply

When the swarm dissipates, do they turn back into grasshoppers or are they stuck as latent natural disasters
reply

Why don't you guys just deep fry 'em, sprinkle some Maggie and eat em, all problems solved in one year, promise
reply

Theoretically, if humans killed enough grasshoppers, then this would put an end to swarms of locusts.
