## Caption

Photo by jasperdoest | Namuna Mzee picks nsenene (cone-headed bush crickets) off a stalk of corn. Unlike the crickets’ locust cousins—responsible for outbreaks across East Africa that devastate crops and livelihoods—these hoppers are not usually as destructive in Uganda, where they create jobs for collectors and vendors. Climate change has intensified locust outbreaks, but it poses a threat to the bush cricket, whose life cycle is closely tied to predictable rainy seasons.
