The National Weather Service says a swarm of grasshoppers was detected over Albuquerque's Western edge for the fourth night in a row Friday. The radar showed rain bands, but no rain was falling. Something else got caught up in the sky.Local meteorologist Chuck Jones says the grasshopper swarm got caught up in winds heading southwest and is being carried as high as 1,000 feet.Jones says the grasshoppers likely hatched weeks ago and are now grown, leading to their ability to trigger radar images because of their size and elevation.Officials say last year's monsoon season and a drier winter created the perfect environment for the grasshoppers to hatch and grow.Technicians initially thought their equipment was malfunctioning when they saw several unexplained clusters. No, it was just a lot of grasshoppers, which are rare, but can happen in the west from time to time.
