The locust swarms in Australia are in the news and I was thinking about it when looking at photos. (Gag!!! aren't locusts gross?) Anyways because of this unusual surge in the locusts there this year, does that mean native reptiles will also have a surge in population because of the extra food sources? Or do many native herps there even eat locusts?

teh locasts will be poisoned and the herps might get that poison aswell. i think most of the lizards dont live in grain feilds or places leik that(were teh locasts are). mostly in the desert like places. but of course they all places are effected by locasts. i dunno kinda neat.

i remember riding my boke through a feild and it was crazy hundreds of them flying away from me.
