Hi Deep Peeps - watch the companion episode from our pal Dr. Emily Zarka of PBS Monstrum, on the origins of 'Big Bug' science fiction. Tell them Deep Look sent you: th-cam.com/video/8wws89pdCDY/w-d-xo.html
Use huge nets and vaccuum cleaners - suck them all into silos, grind and dry them into dust, then use the dust as fertilizer. It's a blessing, not a curse - just use the right technology to gather up all the insects you can, and use it to improve the farm land.
Ok to be smart I had same idea pushing enough energy way say a subatomic explosions might open void in space you could travel as far back as time is moving forward come out of the void at same time you went in
the worst locust plague I've encountered was during the mid-90s I was a child back then, the locus has decimated crops after the El-niño, my uncle's cornfields were lost, the grasshopper even entered our bedrooms... during that time many farmers crops were scared, some sell fried locust in the city, with spicy, sweet&spicy, salted & plain flavored Locust treats... at times locusts turn the sky dark & most farmers Burn some of their lands to drive them away, causing the sun to also turn gloomy red on some other days...
It's fascinating how after the parent green locusts turn into yellow/black locusts and mate, the babies are born as yellow/black locusts and not green locusts that later become yellow/black.
Fun fact: The biggest and baddest locust of all time, the Rocky Mountain locust, was so successful that its swarms could be larger in area than California (!!!) and so detrimental to human settlement that they were considered THE obstacle to settling the wild west! Yet somehow, these locusts went extinct at the turn of the 1900's, an incredible mystery. We've only come close to explaining it in recent years.
The leading explanation at the moment is that their nesting grounds was plowed over, since they only layed their overwintering eggs in a very small region. Hopefully we can clone frozen specimens from Grasshopper Glacier to keep in zoos; no way they'd ever be released back into the wild sadly...
@@alestiiidaeno_last3075 No way Jose or Julio. Locust are a biblical curse. If they are wiped out, keep it that way. They are no benefit to mankind,.just like mosquitoes, wipe them out🙏🏾☝🏾❗
@@IAMNIVERSE No problem! I'd recommend the book Locust by Jeffrey A. Lockwood, one of the researchers to come up with the hypothesis that's most accepted nowadays. It's fantastic.
You know, I've always wondered how gross these things are taste wise. Surely someone has tried to eat them when an entire invasion is eating your crops, right? Or am I just weird?
Insects are a staple food all over the world, especially in asia. If you fry them they apparently taste quite good. With a taste similar to chips, or crisps if you are british.
my uncle used to eat them as a child in marocco. He picked them up after the insecticide plane had knocked them down and grilled them. Not sure the chemicals were too good for his health, but he says it tasted like nuts
Small length videos with the right amount and quality of information, the right voice, the right visuals and a "Deep Look" is what makes this channel perfect!! (For even non-insect lovers). Hope to see some more BTSes!!
I remember learning about this transition on discovery channel as a child, but couldn’t find evidence of it and everybody told me I was a liar. Now finally I have some backup!
Wow! I learned a lot in this video! I always wondered if Locusts and Grasshoppers were different somehow, and I guess, in a sense, they are. You said BILLIONS can swarm? Holy cow! How did you get those numbers and they can last for decades? How does that happen?! This is all so fascinating! Thanks Deep Look for producing such good and informative content! I love learning!
Both the numbers and the length of time are due to how often they reproduce and how many offspring they have, at a time. Plus, all of them basically are doing it, at the same time, so the numbers skyrocket almost immediately.
In their gregarious form, the females lay 70-80 eggs per pod, at least three times in their lifetime, usually at intervals of about 6-11 days. That quickly adds up, and soon 700-1,000 egg pods can found in every square metre. Then it's game over, as the swarms can get so big that they can cross oceans, like they've been documented going over the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and South America, forming rafts on the surface to rest overnight. And the swarms continue until food is depleted, and their numbers go down low enough that they have minimal contact with each other and "regress" to their solitary forms.
Absolutely terrifying creatures. Stellar work as always Deep Look! I love learning more about creepy crawlies through your videos, since I'd never dare to even get close to them, much less study them!
Locusts seem like a natural equalizing force of the desert. In arid regions grasshoppers start swarming in order to find food, after abundance runs out, and then they as a massive group aid in returning the desert to an arid state by devouring plant matter and preventing it from rotting into the soil, fertilizing it. they make sure their species can continue specifically because they over-eat
In the past, my country (Thailand). There was the Pantaga-grasshopper outbreak, they feed on crops until the farmer cannot harvest any rice in the field. This occured for like a week. Then the problem was solved, the farmer start catching and cooking those grasshopper, deep fried. Since then the Pantanga-grasshopper outbreak has stopped, the wild Pantanga-grasshopper population are decreasing very fast, nearly extinct in the wild. Mostly grasshopper we find in the fried-insect selling cart are raise in captivity. I suggest you guys to try some, it's delicious though, like a crispy mackeral😂
I remember watching a documentary about it a long time ago. They also pointed out a wounded/dead member = free food for the rest. I had no idea grasshopers were cannibals.
im mad because there ar millions of these, they are edible, but in Mexico theyre seen as an exotic, fancy meal, so they sell each bug for 1.25 usd when they could sell half akilo at that prize and still get proffits. They are delicious btw. Theyre different from chapulines which are much smaller
This is actually really terrifying, just imagine thousand of grasshoppers flying above you, i was lucky enough to see one, but it wasn't yellow and with bright colors, it was green, when i found it the people of the village i was in,told me it was called "lorito", kinda like "parrot", but now i know it's more like a plague, thanks Deep Look for existing!!!!!!!! And also, the person who narrates, awesome voice you got there, love from Peru.
Entertaining and informative as always! Just read about an article on how China dealt with the locust in the 50s and 60s by redesigning certain riverbank areas. These creatures only lay their larvae on wetland adjacent to river or lakes etc. Flooding these areas deprive them of their reproducing environment, meanwhile an early warning system can help control the damage before they form into huge swarms.
years ago as a kid in rural Ontario Canada i found monster hand sized grasshoppers all over, they were more red and green then yellow and black though? never saw them that size or in those numbers again. it was these! my bearded dragon and monster gold fish enjoyed.
One of the mysteries in nature. 2 morphologies in 1 body! Genetic potential? A clue of evolutionary mechanism could be there. A moult scene is nicely captured.
That happens very often, like bees and ants becoming soldiers or workers while being genetically identical sisters Or fungi growing up as mycelium and fruit (the mushroom part) or as mold, which looks nothing like the other form.
I knew about this but this video gave it another level of shivering. It is quite terrifying. I'm preparing myself for the PBS Monstrous recommendation.
"The bright colors help scare off predators by telling them the locusts taste bad" Do they actually become not tasty to predators or is this just false mimicry?
Since i was a child i've always been terrified by bugs now not so much but unchanged is the fear of grasshopper, those beady lifeless eyes, like they see into your soul yet you don't know a thing of what it will do yet you also know it will jump into you. In essence i hate this insect yet still fascinated by this video
Love this channel and it's content thanks for the heart on my comment under the gif challenge for this video, it made my week almost as much as this video has!
WOW that footage at 2:45 looks so good it looks fake! But when you play it by frame by frame using the < and > keys there's no way someone could've faked it. The huge mass of locusts flying right at the camera feels otherworldly.
I don't remember where i heard this, but locusts' grazing pattern is technically accidental, fueled by cannibalistic instinct. None of them know where they're going or where the next patch of food is, but they do know they can eat the locust in front of them and that the locust behind them may try to eat them in turn, so each locust in the swarm simply keep hopping forward
That's literally a Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde in nature kind of case. 0.o Ps: couldn't it be possible to catch a swarm with giant nets and use the locusts as a source of proteins? Hear me out, in Italy during a famine we used beetle larvae as food, because they were everywhere and they were eating the crops. I know larvae are easier to catch because they are less movable, but it would be still more concenient than using tons of dangerous pesticides which stay in the air, on the crops we are going to consume and on actually useful insects like bees. *shrugs*
We need to remove the stigma for bug meat first before we can get the general public to consume locusts. Even then, it's still debatable since not everyone is willing to see bug meat as healthy. I'm not even sure if it's tasty
@@chrono-glitchwaterlily8776 About the tastiness I can attest (from other people) that they taste amazingly XD Crickets apparently taste like the fried skin of a chicken, just healthier.
Shows that they're just as smart as us. They said when their numbers rise, they inadvertently bump into each other and that contact creates a rush of serotonin (happiness) and that the hairs on the back of their legs are particularly sensitive💖 that's so cuuuuuteeee 💖💓😭😭

If I ignore the "swarming and devouring farms in seconds" and "causing starvation that can last decades", the locusts are actually kinda adorable, especially the babies. I think the swarming is actually rather impressive for a tiny insect to do that.

I seem to remember the Rocky Mountain Locust (?) was eradicated, following the plowing up of the area these particular locusts came from. Is that correct? I think the first I ever heard of these locusts, was in one of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books.
Isn't turning them into food by catching them and either cooking them or turning them into 'bug flour' a good way to counter it? Sure, they eat your crops, but you can eat them.
My childhood is filled with me catching grasshopper for fun, when first time i heard this massive lotus i imagine itwas like paradise, but when i heard it now its absolutely nightmare lol
Fried grasshoppers are the delicacy of Gunungkidul, Jogjakarta, Indonesia. And they're truly delicious. Comes in three flavors: savory, sweet, and spicy hot. High in protein and easy to snack on the go. They're also great on a bed of warm rice, but not so good if you have crustacean allergy. I'd eat them again if my throat doesn't close halfway... 🥴
Imagine trying to take a walk during a locust swarm with thousands of them crawling on the ground Crunch cranch creench croonch crainch. Crinch. is what you'll be hearing with every step
Locusts are amazing creatures, it’s a shame we lost the Rocky Mountain locust. Basically the passenger pigeon of the locusts, had huge devastating swarms but went extinct quickly and suddenly due to humans.
Actually using pestiside is not a good way considering other stuff that eat locust like bird frog and reptile will also get affected The way that im suggesting from my opinion is to catch the locust and make it a food source since insect require less water to grow and also has a protein in it This metode can maybe decrease world hunger Edit:sorry if there's any wrong word since im bad at english

I'd eat them again if my throat doesn't close halfway... 🥴
That's so cute! They're basically like tiny little humans, destroying everything in their path.
Imagine trying to take a walk during a locust swarm with thousands of them crawling on the ground
Crunch cranch creench croonch crainch. Crinch. is what you'll be hearing with every step
You know what, I’m proud of them. They can get this one.
1:36 You vs. The guy she tells you not to worry about
Good video nice shoot. It would be perfect if u can show how they turn to yellow from green exactly
Thank you for wonderful information
locust swarms scare the crap out of me. it's like my worst fears come true. the only thing scarier would be a butterfly swarm.
Locusts are amazing creatures, it’s a shame we lost the Rocky Mountain locust. Basically the passenger pigeon of the locusts, had huge devastating swarms but went extinct quickly and suddenly due to humans.
Actually using pestiside is not a good way considering other stuff that eat locust like bird frog and reptile will also get affected
The way that im suggesting from my opinion is to catch the locust and make it a food source since insect require less water to grow and also has a protein in it
This metode can maybe decrease world hunger
Edit:sorry if there's any wrong word since im bad at english
As someone with a phobia of grasshoppers and crickets, this was mildly interesting
watching this makes me wanna go outside and just look at grass
Finally the video I requested for ❤️
❤️ thank you for different perception.
