Some believe it is a portent of the end of the world with commentators claiming the influx of beetles is an 'ominous warning of impending doom' and 'the end of times is near… they can sense it.'

Oh boy! very likely something to do with a climatic change, but the nuts are out with this rubbish again. And what do they think is the connection between the beetles and the end of the world? are the beetles going to grow and start eating every living thing on this planet and then eat the planet after before flying off into the universe?

Am loving the selling them online bit, who is buying them.. the people from South Africa? they want their beetles back.

Its Beetle-con, its a yearly convention where beetles go to discuss beetle-related issues, trade grub raising secrets and show off the latest in carapace fashion.

That's a lot of protein going to waste. Grind them up for food for Aqua-culture.

"That's a lot of protein going to waste. Grind them up for food for Aqua-culture."

That's a great idea! My first thought was that humans should figure out how to make the beetles edible. If that's not possible, aquaculture food is an excellent use for the suddenly overabundant resource.

Sounds like the 2008 South East Australia cockchafer incident.
