At the beginning of the new year, the people of Chinese are struggling to move in the shadow of the virus, while locusts are raging in the land of East Africa. The vast array of locusts nibble on a small number of crops in the region, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that 400 billion locusts are currently migrating from East Africa to Central Asia, and if left unchecked, the swarms will expand 500-fold when the dry season comes. In the face of the disaster, some "patriotic" foodies said that they did not panic at all, and even a little excited, and asked for war to contribute to the country.
Locusts, also known as grasshoppers, are widely distributed around the world. Lone locusts are very "home", living in every inch of the land all their lives, when the locusts gather together, their appetite will rise, and when they eat nearby food, they will have an idea - the world is so big, I want to see. Due to the nature of the house, locusts can not fly for a long time, can only use the power of the monsoon to migrate, this outbreak of locust plague is the Indian Ocean monsoon from East Africa across the Red Sea, invaded the Arabian Peninsula.
Although locusts can not fly for a long time, but the short flight speed is very fast, not slower than mosquitoes, if you can not catch mosquitoes, it is difficult to catch locusts, in addition to locusts can fly 2000 meters high, want to catch, foodies may also need a helicopter. When the locust plague broke out, there were 150 million locusts per square kilometer, and at present, the most densely populated place in China is Macao, with 18,000 per square kilometer.
Locusts can indeed be eaten, but only in captivity. Locusts and humans belong to different categories, and (bats and humans are both mammals) do not have to worry about catching strange viruses. However, it is still necessary to prevent parasitic infections, at present, locusts mainly rely on pesticides, therefore, be careful of poisoning. Finally, the ghost knows what the locusts have eaten along the way, and people rush to eat it, and they are prone to allogeneic protein allergies.
I hope that everyone can manage their mouths, don't eat blindly, and contribute to the country at home, after all, it is not as good as making small money outside.
