Southwest China's Yunnan Province continues to battle invading locusts that have plagued over 20,000 hectares of cropland.

The ellow-spined bamboo locust eats bamboo, rice, corn and canes. 

More swarms are expected to cross the border until September.

The province has been using drones and pesticide to kill the swarms.
