| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In Dagestan, near Kizlyar, a horde of locusts surrounded a Russian's car on a federal highway. This incident was caught on video. This was reported on July 27 by the Telegram channel "Tut Dagestan". The video shows hundreds of insects hitting the windshield of a car as it travels along the highway at low speed. The large number of insects creates the impression of a light haze hanging over the road. A locust invasion was recorded in the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions. Hordes of insects also appeared in the south of Ukraine — a locust invasion was recorded, including in the Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa and Vinnytsia regions. According to experts, the density of locusts this year is 40-50 individuals per square meter. But there are places where it is twice as large. Such indicators are significantly higher than the maximum permissible threshold for locust reproduction. In 2025, due to an abnormally warm winter, a locust invasion was expected in Russia, which could threaten the harvest in 21 regions. It was planned to create special groups to combat the insects. Experts identified regions with increased risk - among them were the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Orenburg regions, as well as the republics of Kalmykia, Dagestan, Bashkiria and others. Locusts eat almost all vegetation in their path.
