(ETH) – Millions of locusts have invaded small farmers of Agua Amarilla and the Huacho in Combarbalá, Chile leaving devastation to crops, trees, and pastures with both communities beginning to worry for their livelihoods and pleading with officials to eradicate the plague.
The locusts have moved westward within the region of Combarbalá leaving a trail of devastation behind them. According to Historical records, these gigantic plagues have happened in the past around 1970 and to a lesser extent between 1996 – 1999 but nothing of this scale since then.
