[quote]First it was the bushfires, then it was the floods - and as Victorians are still mopping up and rebuilding, here come the locusts.
Authorities warn a forecast locust plague could be the biggest in 75 years and may even threaten the Melbourne Cup as the first hatchings are spotted on two regional farms.
Landowners are bracing for a spring season that could see billions of the ravenous insects hatch and form gigantic swarms across Victoria, NSW and South Australia.
The Victorian government has invested $43 million in fighting the plague, which threatens $2 billion worth of crops.[/quote]

[i]Killer[/i] ants.
I remember seeing the report about this and then seeing how they get rid of them...
Its quite cool, A helicopter comes, Checks if theres lotus, Who usually hand out in the millions and then call the gas plane and it drops the gas and about 70% of them die and the rest fly away.
Don't worry, Australia will just ban them.
It'd be funny if they spent more on extermination of the Locusts than the actual value of the crops. Then again, it would be hard to go from 40 million to 2 billion.
I thought it said Locutus at first and was expecting a horde of Patrick Stewart clones.

aren't these those bugs with the really weird name that almost no one in the world can remember how to spell, and they make really loud sounds and every few years come in masses to the point where you can't even take a step without crushing several?

Interesting. First, Australia declares war on camels, and shoots at herds with machine guns from helicopters. Now, they declare war on locusts.
