RE: Wildlife of Yucatan: unique footage of enormous swarm of locusts flying over our house
Wow, that's incredible! You were really lucky that you were able to witness this, and thanks for sharing it with us. It's unfortunate for the farmers tough.. They must be having a very difficult time right now.
Oh yeah and not just them actually - it devastated gardens, backyards and pretty much everything with some trees or plants.
Wow, I can only imagine. It's a good thing that it only happens every few years then. How long did it last by the way? Is it still going on?
The swarm was hovering above (and eating) our neighborhood for some 5 hours, until the sunset. When I woke up in the morning the next day, they were gone but they actually just moved a few kilometers further to devastate another place. I don´t really know how long this whole rampage usually lasts or what happen to the locusts after that. But man, the size of the swarm was incredible. Talk about a nightmare stuff.
