I highly recommend one of the books cited in this article (Jeffrey A. Lockwood's Locust). He writes about hiking to the glacier to find preserved locusts, the formation of the Entomological Commission which discovered that existing anti-locust practices were ineffective, all sorts of details.

When I moved to Montana I resolved to hike to see them in the glacier, before they all melt. 25 years later haven't quite got around to it yet.
