For all my friends who jokingly asked when the plague of locusts was going to begin – its already started.
They don’t happen frequently but it’s a fact that they do actually happen here in Victoria.
This is a good link from the Dept. of Primary Industries and tells all about it.

Adults capable of eggs laying were sighted last year and if you look here this will show where there have been confirmed sightings of hoppers in the Echuca region recently

The ones sighted aren’t in good condition but with some recent rain those that are around will soon have ‘green’ stuff to eat and could move on to ‘greener’ pastures.
Yes, what’s next indeed

Hi Cathy! Just wanted to stop by and give you a wave.*stops**waves*:o)It's not 7am yet… I'm an early bird. (or am I the worm?) and those locusts have me itching! Thankfully I don't think we have them here. :o)

I can't help but wonder if this is just as natural as wind blowing or rain falling. It happens but not everywhere and not at the same time. We have not had them here for ages.Maybe it has something to do with all the DDT spraying done in the late 1940s and early 1950s for polio.
