英语词汇mormon crickets的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	mormon crickets
词源	Mormon crickets. Early Mormon settlers knew of no way to fight the wingless locustid (Analrus simplex) and were left to rely on their prayers. (See gull). The Mormon cricket remains a formidable problem in Utah today, destroying over $25 mil- lion in crops in 2001. These “eating machines” will eat anything, even themselves, according to the U.S. Agriculture Depart- ment. They have been plaguing Utah farmers for over a century and a half, and there is no end in sight.
