A boy holds a bag filled with fried locusts near Radaa city, 140 km (87 miles) southeast of Sanaa September 1, 2007. It is common among Yemenis to catch locusts to eat them later or sell them, as officials say the insect has swept across the farmlands in the worst plague to hit this impoverished Arab country since 1993.
