Biblical plague of the flying insects swarms Rhode Island beach

A massive swarm of dragonflies descended on a beach forcing terrified beachgoers to take cover as their day in the sun became something reminiscent of biblical plague.

Beachgoers were heard screaming as a cloud of insects swarmed Misquamicut State Beach in Westerly on Saturday afternoon.

Video shows how a swarm of dragonflies buzzed across the beach and past the dozens of scared visitors, whipping over towels, through umbrellas and past beachgoers' bodies.
