For decades, prophets have pointed to symbols indicating the end of the world is near.<\/p>\n

And while dead rising from their tombs and a red mist descending are common, a swarms of insects – specifically locusts – filling the sky are perhaps the most persuasive image of the end of times.<\/p>\n

That is what caused locals in Merida, near Cancun in Mexico, to become so terrified as a swarm of locusts filled the sky, turning it black.<\/p>\n

The city, known for its Mayan and colonial heritage, was invaded by millions of insects on Tuesday, December 5, causing panic among residents.<\/p>\n

The sight of the locust plague reminded many of biblical tales from the Book of Exodus, often seen as an omen of impending disaster.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In response to the fear, the State Rural Development Secretariat (SEDER) announced they were monitoring the situation and initiating extermination measures.<\/p>\n

SEDER reassured locals that the locusts were a “remnant” from a polluted area in a nearby jungle and predicted they would leave the city within two days.<\/p>\n

They plan to observe where the insects settle at night, hopefully in a remote area, and implement “control protocols” in the early morning hours. One local exclaimed: “It’s the end of times. Repent.”<\/p>\n
