Locusts Swarm Across Lanzarote

The images show the large concentration of insects on the road to San Juan beach, near Caleta de Famara.

In recent days, numerous locusts have been observed at various points across Lanzarote, especially in open areas close to the coast. As this outlet previously reported, the arrival of these insects from the African continent has intensified on certain days, coinciding with favorable weather conditions.

On this occasion, video recorded on the road leading to San Juan beach, near Caleta de Famara, shows a high concentration of specimens on the asphalt, forming practically a cloud that covers several stretches of the highway.

Although this does not constitute a structural plague on the island, a more visible presence of locusts is being recorded at various locations, especially at dusk and during the night, so drivers traveling through these areas are advised to exercise caution.
