Just ran across this in the news.
Israel prepares for locusts as Egypt has been plagued with myriads of 3" long grasshoppers. The streets of Cairo have been inundated with millions of locusts.
Thursday, swarms of millions of locusts crossed the Egyptian/Israeli border, and Israel failed to subdue the swarms by spraying 2,500 acres of insecticides. Friday, small swarms of locusts have been reported in Tel Aviv, and northern Israel.
