All About Insects: Locust (17 Pics)

#7 She is distinguished from her closest relative (cricket or grasshopper) by a short mustache.

Further, straight rigid elytra with a pair of transparent hemiwings are distinguished.

When folded, they fit snugly to the body and are almost invisible. Another feature of the insect is its powerful pinkish hind legs.

#8 One jump moves the locust 15-20 times longer than its body length.

At the same time, young individuals that cannot fly move only thanks to these legs.

#9 The insect cannot be called picky.

It can feed on both wild crops and agricultural crops.
