Madagascar has been taken over by uncountable numbers of locusts. This year, the leaf munchers' invasion has not only brought fears of food shortages - the country's capital city residents are also at risk, as some catch the toxic insects for food, AP reports.

The sky over the Madagascar capital Antananarivo has turned dark - an endless stream of locusts has brought biblical scenes.
The country is suffering from a locust plague for the third year running, as billions of insects are on their annual migration route.
