TEXAS — State park Rangers at the Texas panhandle say flying insects, GRASSHOPPERS and BEETLES, caused a weather radar to light up as if there was a large storm there Wednesday.
Officials say people shouldn’t be alarmed by the size of the blob, which spanned for several miles. It wasn’t a swarm, they said, rather there were just enough bugs flying around to be seen on the radar.
