“The bushmen [says Captain Stockenston] consider locusts a great
luxury, consuming great quantities, fresh, and drying abundance for
future emergencies.” “They are eaten [says Thomas Bayne] in like manner
by the Arabs of the Desert, and by other nomadic tribes in the East.”
Even the wasting locust-swarm,
Which mighty nations dread,
To me no terror brings, nor harm,
I make of them my bread.
