#LOCUSTPLAGUE<br />A swarm of locusts was filmed bringing cars to a standstill in Bahrain. The plague of bugs has been destroying crops across Africa and the Middle East and since crossed the border in China<br />This horrifying video shows the sky turning black as a swarm of locusts descends on Bahrain today.<br /><br />In the clip, filmed by stunned witnesses cowering in their car, a dark cloud of flying insects swarms above a road in the normally-sunny Middle Eastern island nation.<br />As if sharing a single mind, thousands of bugs are all heading in the same direction – to gorge on any plants in their path.<br /><br />The apocalyptic scene results in people stopping their cars, either too scared to drive with such poor visibility or to marvel at the unsettling spectacle.<br />Dropping from the sky, one of the engorged bugs lands on the driver’s windscreen and looks to be several inches long.<br /><br />A person in the car can be heard making what sounds like noises of disgust.<br /><br />Pakistan earlier declared a national emergency shortly after this footage showed a plague of locusts blocking out the Sun in the nation.<br /><br />Another terrifying video filmed in Kenya showed how locusts appeared out of nowhere and then swarmed around a motorist.<br />China has insisted it is not scared of the approaching plague of insects as the first ones were filmed landing inside its border.<br /><br />The nation has deployed an army of 100,000 ducks to deal with the problem using nothing but their bills and a voracious appetite.<br /><br />Runner ducks – which walk upright like penguins – can be trained to feed on locusts and charge towards their prey at the command of a whistle, according to the BBC.<br />
