Karachi is abuzz... with locusts.

Videos of the swarms taking over Karachi are making their way to social media and it's a nightmare reminiscent of The Mummy. Model Sunita Marshall also shared a video of the bug invasion on her Instagram as well - right outside her home! - and now we're scared to leave the house.

Told you it was a nightmare!

Locusts are usually found in the desert so we really have no idea how they ended up in Karachi. But urban dwellers really cannot deal with such an infestation. We are said urban dwellers. This infestation is said to be a part of the creature's migration from summer-monsoon breeding zone towards coastal areas of Balochistan.

So far nothing is being done to handle the situation but we hope that changes soon. And no one better be telling us to eat them!
