Swarms of Locusts Descend on Russian Town in Plague of Biblical Proportions

A huge swarm of locusts descended on the Russian town of Kalmykia on Monday, covering the fields and roads in a creepy crawly layer of flying insects looking to devour crops. The hordes of winged locusts running amok probably looked similar to the swarm which Moses called down from heaven in the biblical story of the 10 plagues of Egypt in the Book of Exodus. However, the locust invasion is nothing new here - it happens nearly every year in Kalmykia, usually in the early summer months.
