Q: The worst grasshopper infestation in 20 years has become so thick around Albuquerque, N.M., that the airborne bugs are showing up on weather radar, officials said today. 
  
 "Albuquerque has not seen these levels of grasshoppers since the early-mid 1990's," said John R. Garlisch, extension agent at Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension Service. 
  
 The National Weather Service said the air is so dense with the bugs that they appear on its radar like rain.

 "We have actually been noticing the insects on radar since about Memorial Day," said NWS spokesman David Craft. "We have noticed the greatest impact on the radar during the evening, but they are noticeable at other times of the day, too." 
  
 "It is a nuisance to people because they fly into people's faces while walking, running, and biking. They are hopping into people's homes and garages, they splatter the windshield and car grill while driving, and they will eat people's plants," Garlisch said. 
  
 The swarm, the worst in two decades, is being blamed on the drought. 
  
 "There wasn't enough winter to kill the egg pots. Because of the dry winter the eggs survived, hence the outbreak of grasshoppers," David B. Richman, professor emeritus at the Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology, and Weed Science, New Mexico State University said. 
  
 Garlisch also said that the lack of forage and food on the open range lands is pushing the grasshoppers to seek greener pastures. "What better place than the Rio Grande with its riparian vegetation and an urban center where people keep green lush yards and gardens?" he said. 
  
 Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension Service told ABC News that they received many complaints about the grasshoppers. 
  
 "Some people are freaked out about them, others fear they will bring disease, and some folks want different agencies to spray to control them," said Garlisch. 
  
 While some people expect the state or the county to spray the grasshoppers, others protest any public spraying. 
  
 "Reality, spraying insecticide will be ineffective and will cause more harm than good," he said. 
  
 Katie Goetz, spokeswoman of the New Mexico Department of Agriculture, said that the department is aware of people's complaints. "The department determined that this is a homeowners' issue rather than an agricultural… It's localized in Bernalillo County," Goetz said. 
  
 The damage the grasshoppers may do includes eating the young tender leaves of flowers and vegetables. "We are encouraging gardeners to cover plants. Insecticide sprays are ineffective and not recommended. Grasshoppers are flying upwards of 3-5 miles. If an insecticide for the home gardener is used, it may kill a few grasshoppers, but more will be flying in. The more the homeowner sprays, this will negatively impact other insect species as well as the plant growth," said Garlisch. 
  
 Garlisch recommended waiting for this cycle to end. "Wait it out…As with everything this too shall pass," he said. |||||  
  
 ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – It started out as a mystery that even the National Weather Service couldn’t solve. 
  
 Their Doppler radar has been showing something moving over the Metro area each night. 
  
 Now they know that huge mass is a swarm of grasshoppers flying over Albuquerque. 
  
 “In this situation, we know that it’s something other than precipitation because the particles we’re sensing are not uniform – they’re busier,” said Brent Wachter, forecaster with NWS in Albuquerque. 
  
 Wachter says he’s occasionally seen activity from bats in the Jemez or cicadas, during particularly bad seasons but never a grasshopper swarm covering the entire Metro. 
  
 “We actually thought the radar was broke, so we had our technicians go out there a couple times,” he said. “They couldn’t find anything wrong, so we had to call the National Radar Depot in Oklahoma.” 
  
 The people in Oklahoma said they’d seen something like it before and asked whether Albuquerque was having any sort of insect infestation. 
  
 The radar shows that swarm of grasshoppers is flying about 1,000 feet in the air. 
  
 For perspective, that’s about three times the height of the Bank of Albuquerque. 
  
 “We can explain it, certainly,” said Paul Smith, with the city of Albuquerque Environmental Department. 
  
 Smith says the grasshoppers seen in Albuquerque’s invasion are pretty good flyers to start with, and then, there’s the wind. 
  
 “With temperatures warming up, we have a lot of thermal inversions,” he said. “It’s no stretch to imagine that they’re getting pulled up by some of these up currents and getting high into the atmosphere.” 
  
 Smith says last year’s big monsoon season, plus the mild winter, created the perfect combination for all the grasshoppers just waiting to hatch a few weeks ago. 
  
 He says they should die off in mid-June.

Albuquerque is dealing with so many grasshoppers that their swarms look like rain on weather radar, ABC News reports. "We have actually been noticing the insects on radar since about Memorial Day," says a National Weather Service rep. At first, the service couldn't figure out what the radar was showing. "We actually thought the radar was broke, so we had our technicians go out there a couple times," says a forecaster. Radar experts in Oklahoma ultimately explained what was going on, KRQE reports. The city is facing volumes of the creatures not seen since the 1990s, a local official says. "They fly into people’s faces while walking, running, and biking. They are hopping into people’s homes and garages, they splatter the windshield and car grill while driving, and they will eat people’s plants," he adds. The infestation is a result of drought, a researcher explains: "Because of the dry winter, the (grasshopper) eggs survived." Insecticides won't help much; any grasshoppers killed will just be replaced by others, the official notes. All locals can do is "wait it out… As with everything, this too shall pass."
