According to the U.N., the locust attack in Kenya is the worst in 70 years and the worst in 25 years for other East African nations.
Locusts are destroying crops and threatening tens of millions of Africans with lost livelihoods and starvation.
These locust swarms can blanket 460 square miles at a time and consume more than 400 million pounds of vegetation daily.
Guterres said: "Warmer seas mean more cyclones generating the perfect breeding ground for locusts. Today the swarms are as big as major cities and it is getting worse by the day."
"The Iliad" describes locusts taking flight to escape fire.
By the way, locusts are not only a threat to crops; they threaten people in another way.
In early January, a Boeing 737 on final landing approach to Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, found itself in the midst of a massive cloud of locusts swarming above the airport.
