Solitary grasshoppers are passive, minding their own business. Bunch them together in close quarters and it is a different story. Close together their hind legs kick their neighbours many times per minute; then watch out!! Serotonin courses through their little grasshopper brains and they then have an “Incredible Hulk” metamorphosis. Apart from becoming super ****, they double in size, become brightly coloured, super aggressive, and fly long distances, eating their weight in a day. Eating themselves out of house and home (like teenage humans) they swarm to new areas to eat, rendering the landscape devoid of vegetation.

Locust swarms threaten crops in Eastern Africa and Asia. Pakistan and Somalia have declared national emergencies; Pakistan losing 40% of their crops. Swarms involve billions of serotonin-crazed grasshoppers; double their normal size, bright in colour, sex-crazed with huge reproduction, able to eat their weight in plants every day, flying long distances or gliding on winds. Climate change induced extreme weather events bring torrential rains or cyclones to parched deserts in the Middle East; rapid vegetation growth then leads to ideal conditions for initiating locust swarms, which then wreak havoc far and wide.
