Grasshoppers have become a plague in several countries

#Animals or types of #insects on this one has a series of names that have been embedded for him both in verbal or nonverbal language. In Indonesia itself there are various names for him, if he is in a different area then the name is also different for him.

Nationally, in the territory of Indonesia, dubbed as #Belalang in the Aceh region of the tip of the island of Sumatra named it #Dareut and other provinces also get a different name. While in English it is called #Grasshopper.

In recent years, its presence is not like before, but its presence is now a thing that is less liked by the community, this is caused by its presence in large numbers. So some people say that its presence is disastrous in an area.

Quoted from several print media sources in Indonesia, such as in #Bobo magazine written and uploaded in a #Google search, they said that in February 2019 #Africa and #China were also attacked by epidemics or grasshoppers. Their presence in a very large number in fact there are almost millions of tails that make the sky of the countries of Africa and China turn black.

Then the grasshopper also attacked and entered the #Huan City of China, which happened recently in 2020, this information is on the page of one of the #Facebook accounts of someone who uploaded to his account. In the video also clearly visible the sky of Huan City turned black because of the presence of grasshoppers in very large numbers.

The presence of grasshoppers in each of the countries mentioned above is an unusual number, their population is categorized into very large numbers. So the millions of grasshoppers attacked the villagers' agricultural land and in the end the #harvest failed.

In the duration of the video seen and even broadcast by local media, it is estimated that there are hundreds of billions of locusts attacking agricultural land in countries such as #Ethiopia, #Kenya, #Somalia, #Tanzania, and #Uganda. Their presence made the community uneasy so the government intervened in solving this problem.

If we look back this has happened in the areas mentioned above and even Indonesia itself has felt it, but their presence is not like what is happening today. Today's herd or herd exceeds the previous figure. But this time the locust plague that occurred was very severe and very terrible.

Then what is the #cause?

The background is definitely unknown, but based on the experience of our region (Indonesia) because the food has run out or the host plant has been cut down due to new land clearing. Then another thing also happened because of the smell of food in the #inhabitants' area so that naturally they would #migrate simultaneously to the residential population simultaneously.

How the Indonesian people #eradicate it?

So in this case the Indonesian farmers anticipated it by spraying chemicals on it and afa also parts of Indonesia such as Sumatra eradicated it by releasing thousands of #ducks to dispel and eat it. And the result is grasshoppers in large capacities have become extinct and some of them returned to fly to their habitat.

Thus a brief review of grasshoppers who have now become enemies of farmers, their presence in very large numbers certainly not liked by everyone can even be called an epidemic, as is happening today in several countries. Hopefully it will be useful for all of us, and finally I say thank you very much.
