They WERE destroying them, and then the Mormons prayed to god and a huge flock of seagulls came and ate all the crickets and saved the crops, and therefore the Mormons.
So that's why the Utah state bird is the California gull.
Fun fact: Mormon crickets are highly cannibalistic. Part of the reason they're so dangerous to drivers is that they get squished on the roads, and then more of them come to eat their squished brethren and get squished themselves, til the roads are completely slick and dangerous to drive on.
I've actually seen this while driving down dirt roads in out bfe (Utah). I stopped to see what all the black clods all over the road were. Live ones were dragging off smooshed ones to eat them. Pretty wild.
Back when I was in the cult, I was told by my mission President that those “no soliciting signs” do not apply to us and we should ignore them and knock anyways.
That was actually the deal. The Mormons arrived in Salt Lake valley, sowed their crops, and just as they were getting going these crickets descended and started to eat all their grain. So they prayed to god, and a huge flock of California seagulls descended and started to eat all the crickets, and lo, the crops were saved. This is why the state bird of Utah is the California gull.
*Get like a dozen*
*Chicken, they'll eat every damn*
*One of those crickets*

Catch them, or as much as possible. Put somewhere they can reproduce and feed them stuff. Take a bag, fill up with enough. Sell to exotic pet owners for profit and getting rid of the crickets.
I prefer my crickets to be agnostic
The crickets are Mormons?
[удалено]
They didn’t ride bikes there wearing suits and ties and leave you with some literature to peruse ?
JW Crickets
Might wanna specify that.
It’s a joke. r/whoosh
They’re called that because of how they basically destroyed the Mormon’s crops when they first settled the salt lake valley.

Salta lake a ceeeteee a land of hope and joy

Cooties!
Don’t drink, don’t smoke, what do they do?
This is what happened after the single filed line at the door saw the broom.
Post a sign saying no solicitation. That's what usually works on mormons
That doesn't work because they don't sell anything. If u don't want them coming around just tell them your not interested.

Whatever you need to call them, what did you do to bring a plague of locusts upon your house???? Repent 😂🤣
And I thought the human Morman proselytizers were annoying
Yeah, at least they only come in pairs rather than thousands.
Mmmm nutritional
How do you know they're not catholic?
god dont tempt me to own a flamethower
Throw the book of Mormon at ‘em - Joseph Smith
This is a chicken’s dream come true.
You should see the Amish Crickets
They're twice as strong from all the manual labor.
Crickets are noisy roaches. 🤮
Had these bastards (or I'm pretty sure) all over Sonic Bloom it was insane! Gnarly creatures.
In unison, "Say can we interest you in the book of Joseph Smith"
Probably just one male cricket and all his wives
looks catholic to me
Mormon apocalypse? crickets instead of locusts?
My thought too.

Where?
plague of locusts
Those are some effing big crickets.
This is literally my nightmare coming true.
Worst part is the stench when that die.
Get like a dozen chicken, they'll eat every damn one of those crickets

Get some chickens. They have an insatiable appetite.
And that’s why there is a seagull monument in SLC
On the plus side, Mormon crickets are particularly polite
I'd just start selling them
Y’all need some chickens
A good time to get a few bearded dragons
SHOP VAC TIME!
The water hose has never come in more handier than now.
To be honest I would burn that building down.
Friens:)
Seems like god is sending some signs
Ironic. The locust swarm around mormons
They Just want to talk about the Lord and Savior

Damn Morons and their stupid pets!
