I had a quick look at the 'locust info' link on this page, but it was all a bit technical for me. Can someone tell me in simple terms (ie easily understood by a city girl) how bad this plague is expected to be? Is it going to be better, worse or about the same as the big one a few years back (end of 2004 I think)?
Thanks, Jenni, Bathurst.
A couple of things are combining to make the prediction this year the worst one in 30 years. Firstly the minor plague last year that allowed for lots of egg laying and the very wet and warm conditions this year. If it all comes true it will be much worse than the one in 2004/5.
