There are a million crickets down here in Texas.
Are they like this in other states?

Could the crickets be because of all the rain?
San Antonio has had twice the normal annual rainfall in the last 7 months. Last year we were on water restrictions. Feast or famine!

I don't think that they are as bad as the ones the Bible talks about.
Joel 1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel: 2 Hear this, you elders; give ear, all inhabitants of the land! Has such a thing happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers? 3 Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation. 4 What the cutting locust left, the swarming locust has eaten. What the swarming locust left, the hopping locust has eaten, and what the hopping locust left, the destroying locust has eaten. 5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep, and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
In California we have crickets too but you have to go out in the country to hear them in most cases.

Locusts are mentioned a couple of times in the Bible. I believe one of the plague that came down from God to assist Moses in getting the Jews out of Egypt was locusts. John the Baptist lived on locusts and honey and wore camel hair clothing. Yuk! Thank you but I am a vegetarian. You try it.

We have crickets here in OH but not that many. I think the cold winters kill them off. They are totally different than the kind found in the plauges of the bible. Those locusts eat entire fields in minutes.

I was stationed at Ft. Sam some 20 years ago. Your bugs are huge. Is it true that everything is bigger in Texas?
Not a lot of crickets out here in California.

I think they are related to the rain. We had a massive spider problem here the year we had seriously high rainfall.

They are up here in Austin. We went to Home Depot last weekend and it was right out of a horror show. We have them in my office too. Clear up on the third floor.

In Texas I guaran-dang-tee ya, from san Antonio.
Locusts were one of the plagues that Moses called upon the Pharoah from God so that the Pharoah would, "Let his people go."
