It's this swarm weather...

AN African locust got so blown off course that it ended up in a garden in Cornwall.

The large insect was found by Tonny Steenhagen during a family visit. He said: "I was visiting my daughter Jasmin with my wife Deb and another daughter, Amberley, as it was our grandson Finley's birthday.

"We spotted the locust on a bush. It flew on the grass where I put my hand down. The locust slowly walked on my hand and stayed quite a while.
