Mormon Cricket Swarm:

Millions of Mormon crickets, a native species to the American West, have swarmed various regions of Nevada. These insects, which are a variety of wingless katydids, resemble crickets in appearance and sound.
Generally, Mormon crickets emerge in the spring, lay their eggs, and perish. However, some of these eggs can lie dormant for years, hatching in vast numbers under certain conditions.
This year witnessed an extraordinary emergence, with millions swarming Nevada communities. The influx has resulted in a distinct odor similar to decaying matter. To tackle this cricket invasion, locals have employed numerous methods, such as plows and pressure washers.
