Millions of crickets attacked the American city … Difficult to walk on the streets, people imprisoned in homes, emergency services affected

Carson City: Attackers have captured many cities in the US state of Nevada. No streets, no roads, no hospitals, no houses left where these invaders have not set foot. Even people are sitting hiding inside the house. But these attackers have not come from any other country. They are not even aliens. Rather it’s crickets,

Crickets affected the emergency service
These Mormon crickets, present in millions, have completely covered the city of Elko, even walking on the street has become difficult. Even the way to go to the hospital has been closed because of them. People here are badly fed up with these pests. Even after being present inside the house, his voice is creating such noise as if it is raining heavily. Not only this, due to these crickets, emergency services have also been badly affected.

The outbreak of crickets will remain for a few days
People are using blowers or brooms to remove leaves before bringing patients to the hospital. So somewhere with the help of snow removal machines and tractors the piles of these prawns are being cleaned. The bad news for the people of Alcoa is that there is nothing they can do about it. They just have to wait for this moment to pass.

what are crickets
Mormon crickets, or crickets, are ground-dwelling insects that cannot fly. It is basically found in West America. Their food is perennial trees, grass and crops. Because of these, there is also a shortage in the fodder for the animals. Not only this, their large quantity causes soil erosion, reduction in the quality of soil and water, due to which there is a big loss to agriculture and ecosystem. Mormon crickets are found west of the Missouri River and throughout the state of Nevada. Since the beginning of the 1990s, there is an increase in their number. Reports state that in 2006, about 10 million acres of land in Nevada were infested with Mormon beetles.

Drought and human population is the reason for their spread
Geoff Knight, a Nevada state entomologist, says swarms of crickets are not uncommon in the region, but one of the reasons for this increase is human population growth and the expansion of habitat into forested areas. At the same time, experts say that drought is also a major reason for their outbreak. Because when there is drought in the state, they go out in search of food and harm the gardens and fields on the way. They even lay eggs on the field where they eat.
