The vine . Dr. Shaw observes , that in Barbary , in the month of June the locusts are no sooner hatched than they collect themselves into compact bodies , each a "furlong or more square; and marching directly after they are come to life , make their way towards the sea and let nothing escape them , eating up everything that is green or juicy; not only the lesser vegetables , but the vine likewise , the fig-tree , the pomegranate , the palm , and the apple tree , even all the trees of the field."
