Yesterday, my lady and I got all fancied up and went into town!
We went to Modesto, which is about 60 miles east of where we live (half the time anyway).
On the way home in the evening, there was a moving, tan colored carpet moving north across highway 120.
It is billions of tan grasshopper nymphs. Too small to have wings and fly, but hopping in unison.
It looked biblical! If this thing grows up, we‘re going to have a locust invasion by mid summer. Perhaps they will continue migrating and someone else gets to deal with it, but this is a really phucked up event in the early stages.
The entire highway road surface was moving. Even as millions are being smashed by passing traffic, there are billions more to replace them.
