The clouds of buzzing insects, whose migration through the Las Vegas Valley scientists say is the result of a wetter-than- normal winter, were big enough that the National Weather Service detected them on its radar. Such migrations occur every few years and should not cause alarm since the insects are not dangerous, Jeff Knight, state entomologist for the Nevada Department of Agriculture, said on Thursday at a news conference.“This is the wildest thing in nature I’ve ever seen,” one resident, Caitlin Sparks, wrote on Twitter on Sunday, posting a photograph of a street lamp illuminating a night sky filled with grasshoppers.

The Beginning of the End! GOAT movie!

I would have loved to see that impromptu show.

End time grasshoppers!

They’re in town for the grasshopper convention. Business is booming for the grasshopper escort services.

Eat them all.

ههههههههه عندكم حتى الجراد لونه أخضر

They're letting you know it's too damn hot

Eat them.

Area 51s first line of defense.

Let's hope there are none in Reno...

They’ve been coming and going since forever, take it as a lucky omen.

That is not a real grasshopper. It is cleanly painted. They do not have rainbow undersides.

Poor little guys were misdirected, they should be in DC...

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again GoodSourceOfProtein

Isn't this one of the signs of the apocalypse? Run everyone.

Send in the Vegans!

The plague is real!!!

This would never happen again, if only we could get CO2 concentrations in the air down to zero parts per million! PrayForIt

OOOOO I bet some Christians are going crazy over this! 1 of 10 plagues, or do they have to be locusts?

Grasshoppers take Vegas. sounds like a great movie

Locusts in 'Sin City'?

Looks like God is sending a message to Vegas 🙏

Incorporate them into the slots. Four grasshoppers gives you a free dinner.

Send in the bats

No one in their right mind goes to Vegas in the summer anyway.
