9. From the Book of Joel

A Locust Plague Foreshadows the Day of the Lord

1:2 Listen to this, you elders, and pay attention, all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your whole life or in the lifetime of your ancestors?

1:3 Tell your chidlren about it, and have your children tell their children and their children the following generation.

1:4 What the gazam-locust left, the arbeh-locust consumed, and what the arbeh-locust left, the yeleq-locust consumed, and what the yeleq-locust left the hasil-locust consumed!

1:5 Awake you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you wine drinkers, over the sweet wine because it has been taken away from you.

1:6 For a "nation" has invaded our land. There are so many of them they aare too numerous to count. Their teeth are like those of a lion; their incisors are like those of a lioness.

1:7 They have desolated our vines; they have left our fig trees in splinters. They have completely stripped off the bark and thrown them aside; the twigs are stripped bare."

10. Isn't there a plague of locusts in Australia right now?

Seems like I saw a blip of a news story on it last night.

[Sporadicus]

11. Yes, But...

cicadas are NOT locusts. Locusts are for all intents & purposes grasshoppers that have morphed into insatiable eating machines.
