Hmmm...long nasty winter...plague of ants...is Someone is trying to send us a message?
Hopefully we won’t see hordes of locusts.
I remember rerouting a trip out West when Utah was experiencing an plague of crickets. Might have been 2010. People were sliding off the road because when smashed, the masses of crushed crickets created a slick goo on the road.
From the musical "1776":
[John Adams complaining to God over a do-nothing Congress:]
A second flood, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere, or a cataclysmic earthquake, I'd accept with some despair. But no, You sent us Congress! Good God, Sir, was that fair?
