Today's bug:
Desert Locust upsurges aren’t a new phenomenon. Locusts are one of the oldest migratory pests in the world and have wreaked havoc on crops across the globe for centuries. When huge swarms infest many countries and spread across several regions or continents, it becomes a plague. A plague of Desert Locusts, the most destructive locust species of all, can easily affect 20 percent of the Earth's land, potentially damaging the livelihoods of one tenth of the world's population and seriously affecting food security.
An adult Desert Locust can consume its own weight in fresh food per day. To bring that into focus: just one small swarm (1 km2) has the potential to eat the same amount of crops in one day as 35 000 people.
