Farmers and city officials in Argentina are working to get a handle on giant swarms of locusts that have descended upon the countryside there, in the worst plague in 60 years.A video filmed in Frías earlier this month (above) shows an explosion of locusts covering the surfaces of trees and houses in the southwestern Argentina city. Fumigators are working to crack down on the locusts while they are young, but in 10 days, they will mature and begin to fly, consuming between 2 and 3 grams of food a day and beginning to reproduce.
