The plague of pink locusts coincided with the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library.
The end is nigh.

Biblical?
As a child I remember hearing about people in biblical times "feasting" on wild locust and honey.
Isn't there a botanical version of locust? I hope so..................... "and in the year of the famine, hunger and black death raced across the land, many were tortured and set sail for the Americas. For some there was hope, but some couldn't cope, so they spent their lives in search of fools gold" Thin Lizzy

There is indeed a plant called locust, but it is an extremely hard, thorny tree, so I'm guesing it's the bugs they were eating.

"Bugs Mr. Rico! Zillions of 'em!"
Conditions are right to produce swarms of these buggers. The real test would have been an Aesopian ant-grasshopper thing; are you prepared to have your crop stripped clean overnight? Did you work enought to have some surplus stored? In this case though, they're just creepy and delicious roasted.

Now they are in the Canary Islands. I guess they went from Africa to Israel and then all the way around the globe back around to the other side of Africa again.

That couldn't be another swarm, could it? I mean who's to say that one swarm is comprised of all of the pink locusts that exist in that area?
Or perhaps the bugs turned south and skimmed the southern coast of the Mediterraean Sea...? Or maybe they appear on one horizon, move across a landscape and vanish into nothing on the other horizon like in that game Cleopatra?
