Birds Are Enemies.

Locusts, like all other animate. have
their natural enemies They are
sreedily devoured by many birds, and
it has many times been noticed that
migratory swarms Of the insects were
closely followed by myriads OF birds.
Predatory insects of other orders also
attack them, especially in the I'M
winged condition, and they have dead
y parasite foes.
Although they are to us al unmixed
evil, the locusts are considered deli
cacies by certain savage and semi
civilized people, and are taten in large
quantities. For some time they have
not been excessively destructive to
this region, and there is little cause
to fear their periodic arrival,
