The Zaporizhzhya region is experiencing the invasion of locusts. Initially, they were discovered in the territory of the Kushugum community. However, insects have already reached Zaporozhye now. And insects here are whole.
Local residents tell about it on social networks.

According to experts, the cause of the outbreak was the dry years and the lack of soil cultivation, in particular, because of the war.
In such circumstances, the locusts quickly multiply and migrate over long distances. Particularly vulnerable to the defeat are untreated areas.

According to the Main Department of the State Consumer Service in the Zaporizhzhia region, as a food locust eats leaves, stems, flowers grew. And during mass migration, all sowing can be destroyed in the short term, and the crop loss can be from 25 to 100 percent.
The locust can actively fly by several kilometers, in the case of windy weather is carried over long distances. The main “tanks” of pest populations are in floodplain meadows in river delta.
Recall that scientists from all over the world have signed the “New York Declaration of Animals”, according to which conscious thinking and feelings are in insects, fish and some species of crustaceans.
In the Chernobyl radiation-ecological biosphere reserve, a unique event was recorded-the birth and ringing of the chicks of the black stork, which is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine.
