A (less serious) Portrait of the Archaeologist as a Young Woman. The more substantial blog is here: http://middlesavagery.wordpress.com
vintagenational: Drawn by Irvin E. Alleman. April, 1953. The Locust in Africa and Asia, showing Spring, Summer, and Fall breeding grounds, plus migration patterns under normal conditions and as altered by climate change. Yes, the locust. Yes, that locust. Hungry Locusts, Flying on the Winds, Eat Their Way Across Two Continents In some years the Desert Locust is a solitary, stay-at-home grasshopper. But suddenly, as in 1952, it may change character, gather an army, and start a gluttonous, migratory spree. Winds and double wings carry swarms from Africa to India, and some return. Replacements bred on the way refresh the teams like relay runners. Crop losses sometimes threaten nearly a fourth of the earth’s people with famine. Sinkiang is an alternate spelling of Xinjiang. French Somaliland is now the independent country of Djibouti. British Somaliland is now part of present-day Somalia. Tanganyika is now part of the United Republic of Tanzania. Thanks, Wikipedia!

Hungry Locusts, Flying on the Winds, Eat Their Way Across Two Continents

In some years the Desert Locust is a solitary, stay-at-home grasshopper. But suddenly, as in 1952, it may change character, gather an army, and start a gluttonous, migratory spree. Winds and double wings carry swarms from Africa to India, and some return. Replacements bred on the way refresh the teams like relay runners. Crop losses sometimes threaten nearly a fourth of the earth’s people with famine.

Sinkiang is an alternate spelling of Xinjiang. French Somaliland is now the independent country of Djibouti. British Somaliland is now part of present-day Somalia. Tanganyika is now part of the United Republic of Tanzania. Thanks, Wikipedia!
