This video shows an incredible plague of locusts that have blighted entire areas in Argentina.
Rural committees have begged the authorities to do something about the plague which has affected around 1.7 million acres of land in the northern province of Santiago del Estero.
Directors of the Rural Confederation Committee (CRA) asked governments to help get rid of the "destructive" insects.
The mind-boggling images, which surfaced onto social media, show thousands of the insects covering walls of a derelict building as well as a large tree.
Thousands of the bugs covered walls, clinging on as the camera panned around a courtyard.
