The Swarming Masses
Locusts continue to move around Western Queensland in significant numbers. Locusts are a type of grasshopper that tend to migrate in large numbers, known as swarms. As they travel, they eat huge volumes of food. Locusts can eat up to half their body weight each day, and they aren't overly fussy as to what they munch on.
This swarm of locusts was seen recently between Bedourie and Boulia, and are part of the 'booom and bust' cycle of seasons.
