Bruh you can hear the exoskeletons popping as they get ran over.

[@basspeggarr5169]

Fucking sick af huh

[@Dead_pixelz_]

Crunchy

[@loveinspired7]

Sounds like you're driving through a bunch of Rice Krispies...

[@duckshaker]

A friend in Idaho used them for catfish bait.

[@Fitness_4_44]

This is probably what we look like to every other animal

[@LesbianVampirez]

You’re not wrong 😂

[@tyronearnold6692]

Where are the seagulls?

[@maxwellmattison6224]

...GET DUCKS, they eat the crickets! Chickens too! HURRY! #TheLostFalcon_MarkOne->

[@travisbicklepopsicle]

Well, I suppose that's one way to spread the faith.

[@humanoid1948]

They just want to talk a minute about our lord and savior...

[@travisbicklepopsicle]

@@humanoid1948 I know, but there are so many of them.. I wonder how many of them are actually 'True Believers'? A lot of them probably showed up just because that's what everybody else was doing.
Anyway, the stereotype is true: They do all look alike.

[@HellosunshineUSA]

I would blast the music so I don hear the crunch

[@royceturner-d9g]

Wow hate to see that hope they get it under control in a hurry

[@LearnersPermitt]

Neighborhood Stray cats aint shit 😂🙌🏼 no wild animal in sight lol

[@The.Breeze]

Where are they all going anyway

[@cheryshstrong]

You know so many of them are getting in ppls houses. I feel bad for those who are afraid of bugs

[@martintedrow929]

They visit elko about every 7years and the roads have been known to turn red and people have been in motorcycle wreck's from these crickets, so once there gone it will be another 7 years before they come back.

[@therayven3147]

And the Bible says: fear not, for the day of judgement has not yet come, for as long as there are wars and rumors of war, the time has nor yet come, for there shall be pestilence, fammon, and earthquakes in diverse nations...
We have seen the earthquakes as of late, as well as the fammon, such as all the fires, drouts, storms, and even political fammon such as the ever increasing inflation. And now this. I would call the looks of thisvas a pestilence for sure.
Now, if the wars suddenly stop, such as the war in Ukraine, among others, then i would start to worry.
However, dont dicount this as a sign from God... If tou are not right with the Lord, now is the time... Ask the Lord to come into your heart now, as "later" may be too late.
The bible says "blessed are he who is saved, and believe in the name of the son of God" (i may not have that word for word, but you know what i mean)...
Again, i say, there is no better time than now, to except Christ in your heart as your saviour...
Take care, and may God bless you all...

[@470ohio]

They're really bad this year... We live out by Gerlach and they're terrible. It's from all the rain we've been getting. I'm almost afraid to ask... If it's this bad this year, What is next year going to bring?

[@LibertyGunsBeerTrump]

Plans to move?

[@SteveMcMahon-p9l]

Better than thousands of Mormons ...

[@travisbicklepopsicle]

👍

[@paul9156c]

I swear I saw some of them in clean white pressed button down shirts with black ties riding teensy-weensy bicycles.

[@VioletLife8]

@@paul9156c you swear on .. what..?

[@paul9156c]

@@VioletLife8 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, oh, H. E. double toothpicks! , I just like to swear!

[@dobbysboggart6883]

We Mormons don't bite.

[@jessicabriggs7429]

At the same time with the bees in NY???
Hmm... God trying to tell/prepare for what is to come before Jesus returns!

[@travisbicklepopsicle]

Or it could simply be nature doing what nature sometimes does.. I wouldn't stress over it too much. Humans will take care of the problem, or it will work itself out on its own as these things tend to do.

[@jimrobinson9808]

Not likely

[@JG-bi3he]

Exactly, God is coming.

[@dennisz2975]

Tell them Mormons to come pick up their damn bugs

[@lindatindell5895]

Diatomaceous earth

Elko = EVIL LAND KEEP OUT

[@deelove9375]

[@guillietarlish577]

Aliens was never mentioned in the Bible . There is no such thing

[@fixerrr98]

Nah, someone stole that stone from mummy from 'courage the cowardly shoe'

[@BlackthornKingJaxon]

this is a last resort, DEPLOY THE FROGS!

[@paul9156c]

They must not be good Mormon crickets, or they'd be wearing magic underwear.

[@dobbysboggart6883]

We don't wear magic underwear.

[@Sammyboxnewchannel2022]

Only 1 solution just grab a flame thrower

[@nissangt-restrella2413]

There is more than one.

[@72sat360]

Just a little gasoline and a match will take care of that.
