Parts of western and central India are facing severe locust attacks with swarms of desert locusts entering rural and urban areas. After videos of locusts in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh took social media by storm, people have been sharing memes about dealing with it. With a dash of humour, people are sharing jokes to aptly describe the situation.

People are sharing memes on social media with plenty of references to popular culture:
