Locusts in Uganda.

Locusts are so bad, they can eat all our crops. They move together in a group called Swam. They lay eggs and then breed new young locusts. They can eat all the green herbs where they pass. Yes, they migrate through Africa, because Africa has warm weather that can support them to grow well. They undergo three stages of growth. They lay eggs, then breed into nymph and finally adults again.
We kill them by spraying when they come to the gardens. Have they ever come to your gardens?
They migrated to Uganda when I was not born and they crossed Lake Albert but most of them died and the people named this lake Mutanzige. 
 From your Ugandan friend,
Lawrence.
