In 1528 there appeared in the Mark of Branden- burg, during the prevalence of a south-east ...wind and a great drought, swarms of locusts, "as if this prognostic too of great epidemics was not to be wanting, " says Hecker.

Locusts appeared in Franconia in incredible swarms in 1337, and the celebrated "stinking mists" which spread over Italy at the time of the Plague in 1348 were made worse by the odour of putrefying locusts, " which had spread from the East to the West.
