  • ” In 1889 a horde of locusts flying over the Red Sea stretched for two thousand miles. Another locust plague, sighted in East Africa, was one mile wide and more than a hundred feet deep. It took nine hours to pass overhead, travelling at a rate of six miles an hour! Today, hordes of locusts still swarm periodically over vast areas of Africa and Asia, and wherever they land, they eat every ‘herb of the land’ leaving a plague of starvation in their wake.” - Young People’s Animal Encyclopedia (13)
