Dramatic footage captures an "astonishing" swarm of locusts swarm through farmland and destroy crops. The short-horned grasshoppers are capable of devouring the same amount of crops as 2,500 people would each day.
They affected farms across Lanteri in Argentina and then headed for the large city of Santa Fe. Authorities say they headed across Argentina from neighbouring Paraguay.
Lanteri community president Pipo Garcia described the swarm as "astonishing" and said he has never seen anything like it. In the video, one of several posted on social media, the creatures are seen filling the air above fields and roads in the remote rural region.
