Locusts wont eat Canaries

Millions of pink locusts swept through one of Spain’s Canary Islands on Monday, driving tourists from its beaches.

The swarm reached the island of Fuerteventura from West Africa -95 miles away - late on Sunday and covered an area of some 1 million square metres said Antonio Ortega, director general of the regional agriculture department.

Locusts have destroyed crops in central and western Africa in recent months but Ortega said the flying insects were too tired from their journey across a stretch of the Atlantic to eat much on the Canaries.

You know you are tired when you are too tired to eat.
