Kenya's locust outbreak is the worst experienced by the country in 70 years (Credit: Necjogha.com)

Since the beginning of 2020, the East African country of Kenya has been battling the nation's worst desert locust outbreak in over 70 years. The destructive swarms, some as big as three times the size of New York City — an estimated 192 billion insects — are eating their way through thousands of acres of crops and animal pastures, decimating livelihoods in the process. Even worse, the locusts, which arrived from neighboring Somalia and Ethiopia, are now spreading to other countries, including Uganda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Congo.

        I mean the new Jurassic World Dominion movie's locust's are big but our locusts are small so more gross and horrible. Never liked bugs, especially locusts.

          That must be so scary! This reminds me of the new Jurassic World Dominion movie, where they were talking about genetically mutated locusts! Those were huge though! Like 3 times the size of these regular ones! Glad to have these instead of the other ones!
