Around the world, the crop-wiping insect “locust” attacks the standing crop by the millions and devours the whole crop on sight.

But this time they have not targeted a crop but a densely populated city, millions of locusts have attacked the American city of Elko.

A foreign news agency According to the report Countless numbers of locusts litter the roads making it impossible to walk, the creatures are also causing problems for emergency services.

Invasive locusts have taken over parts of the US state of Nevada, covering not only the roads but also the roofs of houses in such a way that they are visible everywhere.

Residents of the area say that they are fed up with these terrible insects crawling on the ground, their daily life is being badly affected.
