Swarms of destructive insects came from Somalia, entering the country through Mandera By Angela Oketch It is fast, ferocious and will stop at nothing. It is called a desert locust or, scientifically, Schistocerca gregaria. The desert locust, the insect wreaking havoc across the country, is one of the most destructive species. It’s greatest assets being agility and endurance, enabling it to remain in the air for long periods of time. Thanks to this, the desert locust can cover 150km per day at a speed of 16km/hr, destroying everything in its path. For an animal so small, the desert locust has an appetite of a mammoth.
