Who or what eats locusts? Locusts can be eaten by spiders, birds, lizards and desert foxes. The birds can eat so many that they become too heavy to fly off. In some parts of Africa people even eat locusts with honey!
Israel is in the grip of a locust invasion. Farmers are seeing their crops gobbled up in minutes - and some people are taking a novel approach to pest control. Eating them.
Rabbi Ari Zivotofsky's children have been busy in the kitchen.
On the menu… breaded locust, and chocolate-covered locust.
Mmmmmm.
Israel is dealing with a locust emergency.
For the last two weeks, the skies in the south have been swathed in a moving carpet of the swarming insects.
Locusts eat their bodyweight in food every day. And they have been chomping their way through fields of potato and maize.
They are showing little sign of letting up.
