We had left the ER where I tried to get an oxygenator but I guess my oxygenation rate at 93% was too high for this. So, as we drove across a very green and verdant Nevada unlike any I had seen ever before we drove off Interstate 80 to buy gas and food at Carlin, Nevada. Immediately, I knew something was very wrong because of what the road looked like. At first I didn't know what I was driving through which was hundreds of thousands of Mormon Crickets or a huge locust swarm. For some reason they chose to park themselves right on the roadway. One of the reasons for this is locusts will eat each other if some are injured so as more got run over by cars coming off Interstate 80 others were eating them and so they eventually were run over too (most of them). Then when I parked the car to buy gas there in Carlin, Nevada I had to be careful not to step on some just getting out of the car to put gas into the tank. I also took a picture of one close up with my IPhone which revealed a sort of pinkish or beige colored locust. So, look for a beige colored one below to see what I saw then.
These are some of the varieties found in the U.S. near the Rocky mountains:
