Grasshoppers are invading Las Vegas in numbers so large that they’re showing up on weather radar, but some are taking advantage of the pesky situation in creative (and tasty?) ways.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service office in Las Vegas said in a tweet<\/a> that birds, bats, and bugs can all register as “biological targets” on weather radar, but residents who have been dealing with swarms of grasshoppers the last few days know exactly what the culprits are.<\/p>\n

While there’s not much Las Vegas residents can do about the pesky invasion \u2014 experts have\u00a0pointed to a relatively wet year as the cause \u2014 some business owners are taking matters (or bugs) into their own hands.<\/p>\n

One pizza shop in the city, for example, has started offering a new pizza with grasshoppers as toppings.<\/p>\n
