What a fool you have shown us all to be. Mutated locusts? LOL. You are literalizing figurative writing and are too ignorant to see it. Foolish people follow foolish doctrines. The Roman soldiers brought with them weapons called "scorpion machines" pictured below.

Titus brought them and they were only used during the final 5 months of the siege. These scorpion machines shot darts, sometimes burning darts over the wall. They were not used against the vegetation. They were only shot at the wicked, unbelieving Jews inside the city. They seldom hit anybody and were not usually fatal but they hurt like heck. These darts, as ineffective as they were, scared the crap out of people, which was likely the purpose. According to Rev 9:5, they tormented those without the seal of God, which was everybody in Jerusalem in 70 AD as all the Christians fled prior to Titus' arrival.
According to Josephus, conditions inside Jerusalem during the siege were so bad the people would cry out for death each night hoping they would not awaken to the same misery. This is in perfect fulfillment of Rev 9:6. But you wouldn't know this because you haven't read Joseph. Instead you are content with your futurist and false narrative.

You have not reconciled your position.
You have instead gone into fantastic reframing of the book of revelation.
Shipwrecks to explain oceans and rivers being turned to blood,and roman crossbows to explain the flying locusts.
In your mind,God told crossbows not to eat any vegetation.
You are making stuff up big time.
