An Egyptian locust was discovered in a garden in Cornwall, UK, last month, the Cornwall Wildlife Trust confirmed this week.
The locust, usually found in the Mediterranean and North Africa, is believed to have been swept up with strong winds from the southeast and carried to the UK garden.
The trust said the locust was likely carried on the same wind "that's dumping Saharan dust on our cars overnight."
Climate change and invading locusts
While one or two of the locusts tend to find their way to Britain each year, climate changes are predicted to make the cold and rainy country more habitable to them
The species has reportedly gained a reputation for forming enormous swarms that can destroy crops, according to the Daily Star.
The Trust has advised residents of the UK to log any unusual animal sightings to ensure that the impact of non-native species can be tracked.
