Locusts Descend On Egypt And Israel In Plague Of Biblical Proportions [VIDEO]

Okay, so we probably went for the low hanging fruit on that headline.
Locust plagues have swarmed Egypt, southern Israel and Gaza. The plague has struck three weeks before the Jewish Passover holiday that recounts the deadly plagues of Exodus – one of which is a plague of locusts, according to scripture.
Farmers in the affected areas have said that more than a third of their crops have been damaged by hundreds of thousands of locusts.
Governments have reacted by spraying pesticides from the sky, and on the ground to kill off the insects, while local Jews collect the pests to eat as a tasty Kosher snack
Apparently after being roasted for a short period of time, the locusts develop a delightfully crispy texture, similar to potato crisps.
