I know the author is joking but this is so real. Where I grew up we had a disgusting infestation at one point in time (borderline plague) where locusts and grasshoppers were just flooding us and destroying crops and they were everywhere you looked/stepped. The sounds were overwhelming too.To this day if I come across a locust or a grasshopper I have to move at least 10 ft away and if they fly near me/ touch me I become hysterical (this is not an exaggeration, I’ve had panic attacks and it’s so trash.) It’s insane how the brain can wire certain phobias.
