      China unleashes 100,000 specially trained ‘duck troops’ to take on swarms of locusts approaching China from its border with India and Pakistan. Each duck can consume up to 400 locusts a day. Chinese zoologists are in research of containing locust plague with genetic modification. pic.twitter.com/aXTxERdtLZ

      follow up questions 1. Why aren't massively-social arthropods (locust swarms, ants, bees, other?) more prone to epidemics. Or--are they, actually? 2. Are there underwater epidemics and what does disease transmission look like in an aquatic environment?

          1) In social swarms, they often have their own checks. For example, ants exhibiting odd behaviour are suspected by the colony of carrying parasites (such as cordyceps) so ants will drag the infected member a distance away and kill them. 2) aquatic epidemics happen a lot...

          But they aren't usually apparent. Either it spreads through a population (crustacean parasites) or take other stranger forms. The sea is a wild and alien place.

          Arthropods are hit pretty heavily by fungus in places like rainforest
