C The governmentrun mand post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy. What kind of invader gives rise to such highlevel monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫 ). In recent months, billions of the 3inchlong winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation.
