The locusts destroy everything on their way, and they bring lots of damage to crop field during harvest time. They appear with thundering sound and cover the sky. When the locusts pass by crop field, everything is gone and nothing is left after the swarm of the locusts. Small swarm of locusts eat food about 2,500 people consumes food a day.
