With the development of the world, the development of resources is huge, and excessive development will cause various natural disasters . By then, no matter how powerful humans are, they will be powerless in the face of the power of nature. There are many kinds of natural disasters, including those that can threaten human life safety, such as landslides, mudslides, floods, earthquakes, etc.; there are also threats to human survival, such as insect disaster . And today we will learn about the issue of insect plague.
The insects in the insect scourge are mainly locust . The species of locusts have exceeded 10,000 in the world, and are mainly divided into two major categories, one is the swarm locust, and the other is the earth locust . Locusts can grow under various conditions and are highly adaptable. Among them, high temperatures, or drought, or even humid places are their favorite places to live, so locusts have the most in tropical, temperate grasslands and arid desert areas. At the same time, the number of locusts is so large that it is also a group of people. If a locust plague breaks out, it will be difficult to eliminate it.
Locusts have a very important role in the agricultural field. There are so many types of locusts around the world, and many of them are harmful to agriculture. These harmful locusts mainly eat crops. If there are too many harmful locusts, it will lead to no harvest in a region or a country, which will also affect human survival. A major locust plague broke out in the past two years, and the number of these locusts was very large, estimated to be as high as 400 billion, and their vitality was also very tenacious.
insect plague began in the Ethiopia region of East Africa. Slowly, the scale of locusts gradually grew, from East Africa to Arabian Peninsula , and later spread to Asia. Many countries where these locusts pass by are mainly agriculture, and food is crucial to various countries. The arrival of locusts has almost caused heavy losses to many places, which is undoubtedly aggravated by those countries that are not rich. When these locusts flew to India, a miracle happened. It is incredible that the locusts were almost wiped out overnight in India. What's going on?
Locusts are already at the farthest distance from Africa to Asia. The locusts that can persist in flying to India are actually exhausted. Some of their lifespans have expired, but the number of locusts is still very large, so India is under great pressure. At that time, India even sent troops to use aircraft and drones to spray pesticides against them. But India is lucky. Because it rained heavily in the south of Iran, and the local agriculture is rich, the climate is more suitable for laying eggs, it attracted all these locusts, and finally the 400 billion locusts in India disappeared overnight.
This situation also makes people wonder how lucky India is, and this method cannot be learned from all countries. After all, it depends on luck. But later India attributed everything to its strength and felt that it was its own proper means. But it is obviously unreliable, and after some investigation, the international community also learned the truth. Even so, India still believes that it is its contribution, and experts have also made suggestions to India, because even if the locusts are transferred away, India still has a large number of locust eggs, and India's existence crisis will be even greater in the future.
Thankfully, India also attached great importance to this issue and then took quick measures to eliminate these insect eggs, so there was no big locust plague in the end, and it would not affect our country, otherwise all parts of Asia would suffer a lot of losses.
