1874 Grasshopper Plague: Took place in USA and extended from Northern Texas to the southern tip of North Dakota, including all of Kansas. The sun was blocked and all crops were eaten. Tree bark was barren, the wool was eaten off of sheep, wooden tool handles were chewed to pieces, and people lost their clothing as the bugs attacked and stripped them bare. At spots, grasshoppers were inches deep and trains couldn’t run because the railways were too slippery from squashed bug juice.
