I am not sure who needs to see this...

I read the story " Move over!", which was the base for the film "Green Soylent". The only, in my opinion, film adaptation of Harry Harrison. So I know what a real soylent is made of.

And when the "green agenda" is being promoted now, it's a little scary, because you immediately remember that story. Good science fiction writers are always a bit of a prophet.
(Sorry - the story was (Make Room! Make Room!) - reverse translation English-Russian-English sometimes gives strange results

Do you guys have locusts every year, or only every few years?

Down here, we have them every single year. They're never as thick as what you're showing in those pics, but we do have them every year.
I do see one once in a while over the years but not in the numbers we have now.
 
Cicada cloud shows up on radar.


Good sounds of them here:

They are a constant background noise from some time in mid-Spring until some time in September. I know summer is finally over here when the cicadas stop making noise.
 
If the current administration has their way you'll either be on an insect diet or soylent green hamburgers (no wait, hamburgers are going to be banned as contributing to climate change).

Don't forget to have the vegan bacon called fakeon ( I kid you not) on your soy burger.

Kentucky has like 3 different types: Brood X, Brood XIV, and annuals o_O. I wanted to post a video of how loud they are, but it is too much hassle (and I am lazy)
 
There are many different tropical cicadas in Southeast Asia. My daughter told me that some of them sound like a circular saw.
In the temperate zone they are not present, but in the south, near the Black Sea, they live. Once I found, getting out of the tent, a sad picture: a shrike tore off the head of a cicada and placed it on a twig, apparently about zapras, but it continued to chirp.
 
Can't eat that, they look like Tse tse flies

That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
