I just have not be saying much about the insects I see in the Sahara.
We have a few locusts around, usually not many but some are big enough and some of the birds around are small enough that from far sometimes it looks like small birds are flying around the lights.
Last night was a locust night.
Now, don't go imagining a flood of locust of biblical proportions, this is not a movie we are shooting here. Still there was quite a few. Mostly the annoying part is that they do not seem to be able to control where they fly and keep in bumping into people.
Their wings make a loud "flap flap" sound and under microscope, take my word for it, they look weird...mostly their eyes seem like a combination of a compound eye and an eye with an iris that moves around as they look in different directions.
