 The cat thought it was great the first couple of days he was bouncing around the backyard chasing them all day long  Now he just looks at them and turns the other way, he has had enough too

I rode my ducati from Geralton to Perth during a locust plague (~400km). My bright red bike was kind of a gooey yellow as were my boots, jeans, jacket and helmet. Took about a week to get it all off.....sticky buggers.

I've seen a few at work (S.E burbs Melbourne). They were here about a week ago, but havent seen one since then.
They had red legs.

Blooming heck, that's my worst nightmare. I have to spot only one and I will be screaming and running. Not nice when the cat brings the odd one inside the house.

No locusts up my way Jen.
This time of year we get the Devil moths as I call them. these moths are about a hand span across with their wings open and their eyes glow a brilliant irridescent red when the light catches them.
Very evil looking.

Dam Locusts
you should see peoples cars they are now splattered with yellow muck all over the front of them not to mention the poor truckies 
They are eating all the crops etc in sight 
Im so excited its actually raining outside 
it rained all night and still raining today 
but then it would be a bit far for Harry to drive to work
