The authorities in the Canary Islands have issued a warning after swarms of locusts have reached land, affecting popular areas such as Lanzarote, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Fuerteventura. Although locusts do not pose a direct danger to humans, they threaten agricultural crops, including vineyards. Images posted on social media show swarms of locusts invading rural areas. The insects have migrated from Western Sahara due to favorable weather conditions. In the past, the Canary Islands have suffered devastating locust invasions, including in 1958, when massive swarms destroyed crops in Tenerife. According to FAO, locusts are considered the most harmful migratory pests, having the ability to consume enormous amounts of food daily, making them a serious threat to agriculture.
