Locust Swarms at Ibadan, 1930
Nigeria like much of Africa could suffer from the plague of locust swarms. There was very little that could be done to deal with these until the advent of effective insecticides in the 1940s - although these also had nasty side effects of their own. The picture doesn't really do justice to what must have appeared as clouds of noisy locusts.
