Washington - Las Vegas expected another night of swarming grasshoppers on Saturday after a Nevada state entomologist warned residents and visitors they will be around for a few weeks.

People commenting about the insects on Twitter compared the situation to scenes from horror films and referred to biblical passages about signs of the apocalypse. "They generally just eat weeds," Knight said. "When there are so many, they tend to move and are headed north," he added, saying they are likely to be around for a few weeks.
