Jasper Doest's Image
Taken from a drone, this image shows several nsenene traps set side by side.
Trappers hope the collective heat and glow of lights will draw larger swarms, yielding a greater harvest. Concerned about the sustainability of collecting wild bush crickets on a large scale and hoping to help address malnutrition in the region, scientists are working to find ways of farming the insects.
