As if three Biblical plagues were not enough, the Plague of Locusts now engulfs entire countries in east Africa, devouring crops and vegetation and depriving humans and animals of food. I saw these swarms of insects on TV news. My grotesque imaginings unleashed a humanoid locust whose four human limbs morphed into insect limbs. No real insect looks like this but we are in the world of tiny monsters. Coming to the Mid-Atlantic region in 2021: 17-year cicadas!
