* A day of darkness.
"The quantity of these insects," says a French author,"is
incredible to all who have not themselves witnessed their
astonishing numbers; the whole earth is covered with them for
the space of several leagues. The noise they make in browsing
on the trees and herbage may be heard at a great distance, and
resembles that of an army in secret. Wherever their myriads
spread, the verdure of the country disappears; trees and
plants, stripped of their leaves and reduced to their naked
boughs and stems, cause the dreary image of winter to succeed
in an instant to the rich scenery of spring. When these
clouds of locusts take their flight, to surmount any obstacles
or to traverse more rapidly a desert soil, the heavens may
literally be said to be obscured by them."
