Summary

Description

Locustana pardalina

Afrikaans: Voetgangers van die bruintreksprinkaan verslind enige eetbare plant, blaar of saailing binne hul bereik. Massas word deur padverkeer vertrap, maar die oorblywendes beur voorwaarts, veg teen die wind, groei meedoënloos vlerke en word daagliks sterker. Sodra hulle van die grond af kan opstyg, beweeg wolke volwassenes van provinsie tot provinsie, en van gewas tot gewas.
English: These pedestrian locusts devour any edible plant/leave/seedling they reach. They surge forward, fighting the wind, masses of them being trampled by traffic on the roads, relentlessly growing wings and growing stronger every day. Once they can take off from the ground, clouds of locusts move from province to province, from crop to crop.
