The increasingly common haze brings with it, especially in recent years, the presence of African locusts in Tenerife has increased. They are harmless, but many people find their mere presence very unpleasant.

A reader has referred to NOTICE DIARY a photograph taken on the terrace of a house in Los Majuelos in which you can see a locust that has arrived in Tenerife thanks to the presence of haze at altitude, which will accompany us until well into the week.

The air quality indices in the metropolitan area of ​​the Island are “unfavourable,” according to the map of the Ministry of Ecological Transition.

AFRICAN LOCUSTS IN TENERIFE

“African lobster” is a term that can refer to several species of lobster found on the African continent. Locusts are insects belonging to the order Orthoptera and the family Acrididae. They are known for their ability to form swarms and carry out mass migrations, which can cause serious damage to crops and grasslands.

Some of the best-known locust species in Africa include:

  1. Desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria): This species is famous for forming huge swarms and devastating crop areas in Africa and other regions. It is also known as the “African migratory locust”. Locust outbreaks can be devastating to agriculture.
  2. West African locust (Locusta migratoria migratorioides): It is another species of lobster found in Africa. Like the desert locust, it can swarm and cause damage to crops.
  3. Other species: In addition to those mentioned above, there are many other species of locusts in Africa, some of which can cause significant damage to agriculture and vegetation if they become pests.
