A Plague of Locusts
Well, one of my favorite vacation spots has been overrun by locusts. West African countries are quickly trying to combat the swarms, but the damage is likely to be extensive and devastating to the crops of the region.
According to Reuters, the groundskeepers in Dakar made sure to protect the turf at the soccer stadium with pesticide though, just in case you were worried.
For those of us who lived through the cicada swarms in DC this Spring, we should count ourselves lucky. These locusts are frickin' huge!
