Insects become food for animals - 15th March 2021

Locusts are a kind of insect. They are a problem for farmers. The locusts eat farmers' plants.

Locusts are a big problem in Africa. But a company in Kenya has an idea. The company's name is The Bug Picture. The Bug Picture is teaching people to catch the locusts.

In the day, locusts move very fast. They are difficult to catch. But at night, the locusts are tired. Or they are sleeping. People can pick them up.

People take the locusts to The Bug Picture. The Bug Picture pays the people for the locusts. Then, The Bug Picture makes the locusts into food for animals.

Fish, chickens, cows and pigs can eat the locusts. The locusts are good food for the animals. And this helps farmers.
