Large swarms of locusts flew into southern Israel over the past weekend, April 24 and 25, 2021. Yellow insects flew into the areas surrounding Eilat, with some even coming from the sea.

Their yellow color is an indication of their age as these bugs are mature and skilled fliers.

Throughout history, locusts have been symbolic of major devastation as depicted in legends and ancient texts all over the world.

According to ILTV Israel News, Israeli nature experts are saying there is nothing to worry about:

  1. Smart bugs….let them eat every last green thing in that wretched country. Maybe GOD really IS watching what they do to their ‘enemies’ and is not happy……
