You're talking to a floridian, swarms of bugs don't exactly signal divine anger, to me.
Bugs "hit" all over the world all the time, honestly, they're always around. The origin of this particular swarm is just like any other anywhere else at any time. You're looking to crickets to tell you about a god. The irony is delicious.

They're disgusting; they came in swarms; and they are bugs.
I'm thinking like: they have all the signs of a bad omen.
Especially that they hit twice; 1 in Mecca and 1 in Medina, with a long timespan in between
Please tell me how you would distinguish a god-sent plague of bugs from a natural event.

It may be true for you or for any person not believing or not intending to believe; but it proves its worth with readers who want to believe. Until the rules of this place state otherwise; what I'm doing is a legal as changing the profile pic.
Lol, what? I never said what you were doing is against the rules. I said it was getting old. You do realize that talking about your specific god as though the debate is already over and you’ve won, isn’t going to get you very far with people on the fence about it, yeah?

Geography rules and conditions must be taken into consideration. Florida is not like Mekka or Medina; bugs simply don't come in swarms in here, it's a desert region that is extremely hot too.
Yes there are "bugs" everywhere; but "swarms"? hitting "religious sites" in specific?
I'm not looking at "crickets" to find God; I'm saying instead that the actions of Muslims -especially the Sauds- are not worthy of the white color they paint the grand mosque in.

Personally; I look at the events.
Let's say Muslims did something very stupid. If bugs came invading their holy sites afterwards; I'll think that mostly God cursed them for the stupid actions they did.

I always rethink my views with every discussion I have. But what I hear in discussions doesn't convince me in most cases: there is that small bit that is messing from counter arguments.

As has already been explained to you...these bugs aren't just hitting your religious sites, though the reason that you find them there is just as mundane as their appearance.
Yall need to use different lighting, and you'll probably want to get used to seeing more and more of this sort of thing as time goes on. Your cities are bug magnets. Any cricket in the area is going to spend every night of it's life moving toward those few points of light, and if you're not used to dealing with them - there's going to be a problem.

Right? Swear to christ, it never ceases to amaze me at how determined the religious are to make parodies out of themselves.

What is the "mundane" reason for their coming?

The world is, has been, and will be swarming with bugs. 80% of all animal species of all types are insects. This has been true long before there have any mammals, much less any of that sad nadir of primate evolution so misbegotten that it can actually believe in a “god”. It will almost certainly still be the case when the last human gasped out his last, crossing over hoping to such Jesus cock, only to find nothing. For ever member of the genus homo that ever lived during the last two million years, there are at least 100 million insects alive today.
The story of animal life on earth is the show of and by insects. Humans even with nuclear armageddon and anthropogenic global warming does not rate a mention at the very end of the credits. There are sects, and then there are vainglorious wannabes not worth mentioning.
Get over it.
