The fire would also kill the vegetation and some animals that eat locusts (e.g. birds) would lose part of their food supply and decrease the population and if there’s less birds there’s less things above them in the food chain and all havoc breaks loose.

yeah they do eat them but if they ate them in that number to even make a scratch on there population you need every african every minute of the day eating them..

in terms of eating. it doesnt hinder their progress at all.

“At this stage they can’t fly, only hop. But it doesn’t hinder their progress”
Er…yes it does! As pointed out, they can cover up to 80km per day when able to fly. They can’t achieve anything like that when they can only hop. So their progress is indeed hindered. Learn to write, BBC idiots..

So, we should get them when they are still stuck to the ground. Suck them up with a vacuum and fry and eat them!
